Getting FC16 to shut down

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In both GNOME (fallback mode) and xfce, if I click the shutdown entry in the user drop down, I get a pop-up asking if I really mean it. WHile I'd like to eliminate that step, if I click SHUTDOWN again I get a logout sequence ending back at the login screen where there's a power icon leading to a shutdown which finally actually powers down the machine. Is this intended operation, that as Windows users leave the dark side they are so used to having their hand held that Fedora has to emulate the nanny sequence?

I see this on a number of 32 bit installs, and on the 64bit VM, having issues with lack of time to upgrade the rest of my machines, I see suspend is still broken WRT getting the network back up in some functional way, no surprise, I don't even bother to report it any more, but shutdown really should work.

Why is it this way?
