Hello,
I just installed Red Hat 5.2. Logged on to root. typed xdm, got the log in
screen. Logged in as root again. I now can not seem to shut down the
computer. ctrlaltdel doesn't work. Shutdown -h now in the term window
doesn't seem to work, it just goes back to the xwindow log in screen. Is it
safe to power down at this point? I have FVWM2 window manager.
Thanks in advance, I have searched all 1020 pages of the SAMS book Red Hat
Linux Unleashed and 861 pages of QUE's Using Unix.
shutdown -h now
man shutdown for more info
ctrl-alt-del usually works only from text console (not from X
windows), use ctrl-alt-F1 to get to text console (usually F1 - F6 are
text consoles, F7 is your X windows session)
you have better chances for good responses in more general linux
mailing list/newsgroup, possibly specific to your distro.
