Sorry I didn't think to ask in original email (hate my brain), did you try as root just for kicks? I'm trying to remember if I went through this with Jessie or not but can't remember. Here with Sid's initial install, I remember NOT having this problem as root and I *almost* remember not having this problem as a newly created secondary user. SEEMS LIKE only user having the problem was the longstanding one whose /home directory I kept adding back in to new installs... Shoot, you know what I'm also remembering now.... part way, anyway... is that this POSSIBLY even occurred before I ever installed Xfce... For VERY SURE it was occurring at the... console (?) before I ever even entered "startx".. THAT'S why I knew to ask if you tried it as root. Root in console (?) successfully logged out, but my user "elf" could not. User "elf" got hung ever time and cause a forced reboot via the button on the laptop. Never found an alternative to escape the hang any other way..... Whatever else above, I definitely got hung on Log Out while in Xfce yesterday and had to go full reboot.... :) Cindy -- > Cindy-Sue Causey > Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA > > * Oh, the weather outside is gorgeous... * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
