 Your solution does not work for me. If my problem is related, perhaps I
 should just remove my entire .kde directory.

Apparently in my case there seems to be some issue with ConsoleKit that 
I have not yet found out.
KDE's session manager ksmserver ultimately executes some shutdown code 
depending on which window manager is used. I'm currently using the 
auto expression, thus what happens during shutdown is that Stop or 
Reboot is send via DBus to ConsoleKit.

If I do this by hand:
  dbus-send --system --print-reply \
  --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit \
  /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit \/Manager \
  org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart
  (method return sender=:1.2 - dest=:1.22 reply_serial=2)
Nothing happens aside from 1329125469.842 type=SYSTEM_RESTART 
appearing in /var/log/ConsoleKit/history. The same when running the 
command as root or as normal user, with and without the --system 
parameter.

I've not yet found out why it's actually not doing anything. Anybody a 
clue here?

As an aside, when running KDM, I found out that loading the Login tab 
in systemsettings application screws up the KDM configuration in the 
nix store: e.g. it sets the reboot command to /sbin/reboot (which, 
obviously, does not exist).

 Any advice?

 rm ~/.kde/share/config/startupconfigfiles

 This worked. It had many store references.

I have a similar problem for a while. Shutdown, reboot or exit just 
gives a black screen for several seconds and then jumps back to KDM (via 
KDM I can shutdown or reboot my machine).

Or (untested)
$ find .kde -type f | xargs sed -e 's,/nix/store/[^/]*,/var/run/current-

P.S.: The proper solution would be to patch KDE to stop resolving symlinks.

I find this a very good answer though! Do you recomend doing that 'sed'?

I've done sed like this a few times.

[Nix-dev] Halting from kde, or exiting session

2012-02-07 Thread Lluís Batlle i Rossell
Hello,

since some recent update, the KDE we have does not halt anymore.
Clicks to shutdown, reboot, exit, ... none work. They don't do anything beyond
hiding back the menu.

Any advice?

Regards,
Lluís.

Xfce often does me a similar thing when /var/run/current-system !=
/var/run/booted-system. Any attempts to reboot or shutdown end just in
logout. There in KDM, however, reboot or shutdown always worked afterwards.

I suspect it could be a configuration problem somewhere around policykit 
- not conforming to how we switch to another system...
