shutdown lost
Hi there! Something mysterious has happened by accident: lost my shutdown icon and also the ability to function through ctrl+alt+del shutdown in fc9!
how to fix it? i wouldn't like to re-assemble the whole fedora package because i have also win 2003 server and XP (for my wife) in the same pc... i can stop the thing while working in linux through halt, init 0 etc. 'tricks' but it seems quite idiotical (so am i right now)... anyway thanks for possible answer/advices, wjuhis |
Sorry, I am not sure what you mean by fc 9. I would have guessed Fedora 9, but thats not out yet...
If you are running GNOME, right click on one of the panels (the bars at the top and bottom) and choose "Add to Panel." Scroll down and find "Quit" with a power icon and drag it onto one of the panels. That should fix the problem. |
not THAT easy...

Ok. I understand what you mean... I don't really know where to find the shutdown program. Can you still shutdown through the System menu?
|
Well, on FC6 it's
/sbin/shutdown (from the cmd line) so I guess you could create a new icon and attach that cmd to it ? |
thank you VERY much for your help... anyway my system seems to be working but is still corrupt... so a very UNORTHODOX solution (and contemporary) new icon and command halt -p and it works... when i have time i do have to re-install the whole system with all the possible updates... have a nice week and thanks again for givin me good ideas... ps. EVEN shutdown doesn't work, wjuhis

Have you tried (in a console such as Konsole) entering the command
Code:
shutdown now |
