Hey.

Just a few questions.

First. How do I enable reboot and shutdown options at the logout menu for a regular user ?

Second. Numlock is for some reason deactivated when done booting. Hoe can I change this ?

Regards.

Download setnumlock ftp://ftp.silug.org/pub/ltsp/setnumlock.tar.gz install it and then set it to run every time you log into gnome

tar xzf setnumlock.tar.gz
cd setnumlock
make
su
password
make install
chmod 755 /usr/bin/setnumlock
exit
gnome-session-properties

click the Startup Programs tab then click Add, type setnumlock in the Startup Command box, click OK to close it all up and you're done.

.... surely there must be a setting or two in a config somewhere. A program to enale numlock apon startup is insane.

Hey.

I've been messing around with some other script but they didn't work, this one did like a charm, though. Thanks.

Anyone has any idea how to add reboot/shutdown options to the logout menu in "Actions" -> "Logout" from within gnome for reglular users ?

Regards.

I don't know how to add it to the menu, but according to these threads http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7044 http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7306 you should be given the option to shutdown after you've clicked logout if you

su
password
mkdir /var/run/console
touch /var/run/console/$USERNAME # change that for your actual username
chmod +s /sbin/halt /sbin/shutdown /sbin/poweroff

I should point out that it creates a security risk to set the user ID to root on those programs. Basically it means anyone who's logged on at the computer can switch it off. So if you're running a server or controling a nuclear powerstation or something, don't do this. If you're just running a home desktop computer you should be fine.
