Bug Description

(I'm new to Linux)
I downloaded and installed Kubuntu 6.10 on 11-18-06.

If I try to click the Re-start button (in the shutdown menu from K-menu), it looks like it is going to re-start, but actually the screen just goes black and sits there . . . until I manually press the reset button on my PC case.

So, I've been using at Terminal, sudo shutdown -r now.

My hardware is mainstream:
Intel D915GAVL mobo with embedded graphics (Intel GMA, Graphic Media Accelerator), Intel CPU (530J 3 GHz), two Seagate SATA 160 HDDS, 17-inch CRT--NEC AccySync 750F, and a Sony DVD+/-RW optical drive.

I applied the following fix that seems to have worked:

Log into Kubuntu 6.10.
Open Konqueror.
Navigate to /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc
Rt-click, Actions, Edit as root
Remove the # from the line TerminateServer=True
File, Save
Re-start. It didn’t re-boot--same problem--so I pressed Reset button.
Then re-start worked in Kubuntu 6.10.
Since then, re-start and shutdown have worked as they should.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information.

Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available here: <http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelProblems> Thanks!

There's the info you requested (above). Please note that I did apply the "fix" mentioned above quite some time ago. I found that fix at the Kubuntu forum.

Also, in the kernel update, 2.6.17-11 I did NOT have this problem.
(I logged into the "old" 2.6.17-10 to get the files you asked for.)

Of course, in 2.6.17-10, when I had the problem, I could always restart or shutdown at the CLI using sudo shutdown -r [or -h] now.

Thanks.

Brian:
That's correct: no problems with 2.16.17-11. (The problem was only with
2.16.17-10.)
Thanks,
Mike Anderson

I am under the impression that you do not have this issue with the
latest version of the kernel for Kubuntu 6.10. If that is correct I
would like to close the bug report. Thanks in advance.
