Restarting

Now, this may sound like a silly thing here, but when I am in (Mandrake
2006, Mandriva 2006, YKWIM!) and I want to restart the machine... I can't.

I can "Log Out" then I can log back in again.

The "Menu" icon gives

Restart X Server Alt E
Remote Login Alt R
Console Login Alt N

But I can't find an option to restart the PC?! Huh??

Anyway, so I logged back in and tried to do things and got "Klauncher
could not be reached via DCOP" as an error message.

It was at this point here I said bad words to it very loudly and hit the
reset button...

Now it's rebooted I haven't got the above error message.... Hmm

Pass me the axe dear :(

I do not use the graphic interface to 'halt' or 'reboot'. I'm still faster
with the old style prompt commanding, so I just go ctrl-alt-F2, root, enter,
password, enter, halt or reboot, enter and there it is.

You probably want to do it on GUI, this is just a suggestion.

Hmm

Alt-Ctrl F2 or F4 (or any F Key) gives me a login box

My local username is recognised but neither "halt" "reboot" "restart" works
Exit or Quit will log out of that username, but I don't have any way of then getting rid of that black screen ??

trying to login as root won't work.
doesn't recognise username/password :(
