no reboot options


Earlier I used to have options for rebooting like Windows, Opensuse, Failsafe etc. Now I have no option. Only upon rebooting, I get list to choose. What went wrong?
Power down on shutdown behaves erratically. Sometimes computer hangs and to be manually shutdown. Setting apm=off

Are you talking about KDE?

Any chance you tinkered with some settings or security options?

Basically, what did you do between "earlier" and "now"?

Your power down problem could be caused by some process refusing to die.

The standard during boot are WIndows ,Opensuse and Failsafe.
If you choice for opensuse and you get at the log in screen you get left side two option one is for the session type the other is reboot , shut down and so on.
This choices do not appears if you set the system to auto log in.
If you have only one user it is standard that it is set to auto login ,
but you can change using yast users properties
Ore create a second user than yast ask if you like to disable auto login
About the system hanging with GUI are you using ?
