How to reboot the machine from Elive?
Hi all, I installed Elive some days ago and I must say I'm impressed with it and I love it. I only have one issue: when I exit E16 or E17 and want to reboot the machine there's just a button that turns the computer off, but I don't see any 'Reboot' button, so I must go to virtual console and run 'init 6' to reboot. I have no problem with it, but this is a shared computer and the other people using it don't know how to do it. On E16 I right clicked on the screen, pressed 'Session settings' and selected 'Enable reboot/turn off on logout' but when I press 'logout' and then 'Reboot' from E16, it just takes me to the login manager (not sure which one Elive uses). So, my question is, is there a way to reboot the machine from the GUI?
Thanks in advance.

Are you using Entrance as your login manager? If so, in the lower right hand corner is the "Off" button. In the lower left hand corner is the "Reboot" button, that looks kinda like a "recycle" logo of sorts.
Peace...

I think the default entrance screen has both buttons but if you use darkrock or nebulous they only have the shutdown option.

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I was at work. You were right, I'm not sure which theme was selected, but I choose the 'default' theme and it works fine now.
Thank you both for your help.
