log out not working in 64bit (viking60)

viking, in regards to this thread, have you tried logging out via CLI? Make it print to a file in your /home, so you can see any errors?

[viking60]

Hey what am I thinking of I should have posted the question here - With so many quality members Will do and report back.
Edit:
Eh how do I log out with the CLI? I always use that nice green button.

[dedanna1029]

Code: Select all

su
enter root password
pkill -KILL -u yourusername

Will get you logged out. The part I'm loose on is the prn to print to a .txt file.

Edit: *I think* it would be:

Code: Select all

su
enter root password
pkill -KILL -u yourusername >>filename.txt

I'm not 100% sure though.

hmm I have to work on the log thing The file gets created but it is empty. Trying do deactivate compiz.....

[viking60]

Ladies and Gentlemen - Meine damen und Herren And the solution is.....drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmm:
The auto login logs me right back in without showing the login prompt (making me unsure if I have been logged out).
This is wrong of course (It has to be). I discovered it when i turned off the automatic login.
I Logged out et voila I could log in or change the user. I can live with that so I call it fixed,
Still it is a bug.

Yeah, that is a bug, as it shouldn't log back in after you log out so fast. You might set it to 5 or 10 seconds or something in your login manager.

There is no timer there. And how could it be I need to log out and have the login menu. Only there can I change the user or the desktop (KDE/Gnome). Not even getting there -at all- must be a bug.

Are you using gdm? If so, then it's this way:
System menu-->Administration-->Login Window
From there, you give the su password, and go to the Security tab, and compare here:



Unless, that's what you were saying is missing.

If you're using kdm, god help you. :\ Only thing I can think of there, is to check in systemsettings.

Code: Select all

systemsettings

[viking60]

No it is set in MCC. I don't have a login window option in the System->Administration menu

Okay then there's your bug, that it's not there, because it should be. You don't have a "login"-anything?

[viking60]

No a lot of logs but no login. I have the Norwegian menu but no login anything. Are U sure u are on Mandriva there, it sure looks like ubuntu to me:)

I use MDV 2008.1 right now only very temporarily. It's about to go this coming weekend, and be over-written with Arch. My secondary hdd (I have a 160-Gb that I'm going to use) will have Fedora. Which flavor of Fedora I am not sure; probably F11 (I need the amazon mp3 downloader and they only have a file for it for F11, nothing for F12 or beyond).

If I run into that usb drive bug though with Arch, I may move on to something else temporarily until it's fixed (Mint or something, not sure right now).
