You have been subscribed to a public bug: Binary package hint: kde
If something crashes in KDE during shutdown (started from menu), the halt process will not continue until the crash reporter window is OK'ed. Krusader tends to crash a lot, if not closed explicitly before shutdown (please refer to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krusader/+bug/64682). I do not think this is how it should work. If I choose to "Turn Off Computer", I expect it to turn off, crashes nonwithstanding. Its not a nice thing to come back from work, and to find my laptop I thought I stopped in the morning still waiting for me to click on the "OK" button of the crash handler. I have an HP/Compaq nx9010 laptop. I first installed Xubuntu, so I have gdm, I do not know if it matters. How to reproduce: 1. Log into KDE 2. Open a few applications (Krusader should be in it, and before bug #64682 is solved :), Firefox, Kopete, etc) 3. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del, select "Turn Off Computer". 4. See if something crashes. If something did, notice your machine won't stop until you OK the crash handler window. 5. If nothing crashed, repeat steps 1-3 until it does. Or simulate a crash somehow. I can provide logs / traces and also would gladly test the correction. ** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Status: Confirmed -- Crash in KDE inhibits shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98883 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
