Re: Strange standstill with KDE-Shutdown

[Tom <celok@gmx.net>]

Hello all,

actually i have been a lurker till now. So hi all now. (Is there a habit of 
introducing the own id?)

However i have the same problem, basically, but my Dell Inspiron 5000e shuts 
down kdm,  then the shutdown procedure halts at a point. Like Stefan's laptop 
mine does not do that always.

But the most annyoing thing is:
Somtimes (again not always when the shutdown procedure ist failing) some of my 
kde config is lost: 
korganizer color groups, groups, preferences (not the data)
kmail identities, filters, network settings
and maybe some other

I have installed knoppix (3.2 i think not sure)
No manipulations of the kernel
Mostly testing (only a dozen unstable manually)
apt-get upgrading almost daily

And where to look for the other version, you have to tell me
or what else could be of use.

Best Regards,
Tom
