[SOLVED] KDE - can't restart

Hello
When i choose to restart from KDE session the screen becomes black and only mouse is visible. Session hangs and then i have to change console to restart the computer. I launch KDE from KDM. If i am only in KDM i can restart computer without problem. Any tips?
BTW - i have systemd but i don't think this is issue because KDE 4.8.x worked fine on it.
From journalctl:
Aug 11 12:34:16 saso-laptop kdm[927]: :0[927]: pam_systemd(kde:session): Failed to connect to system bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Aug 11 12:34:16 saso-laptop kdm[927]: :0[927]: pam_close_session() failed: Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session
Aug 11 12:34:16 saso-laptop kdm[927]: :0[927]: Cannot close ConsoleKit session: Unable to close session: Connection was disconnected before a reply was received
Thanks!
EDIT: the problem was a script that i set up yesterday to be executed on shutdown. I removed this and everything is OK now.

[SOLVED] KDE 4.10.4 can;t Shut down, Restart the computer.

As the title says. After installing KDE 4.10.4, Restart or Shut down the system doesn't work.
It exits, kills X and the system waits at tty. It may be a KDM problem because you can't Restart, Shut Down from KDM login screen.
Anyone experiences something similar?

I was using my iPhone 5 and the screen randomly went black. I can still hear incoming calls but the screen stays black and unresponsive and stays black. My lock button stopped working last week so I can't restart the phone. What can I do to solve this?

I had an appointment this morning with Apple to try and solve the problem with my lock button ranomly not working anymore and a few hours before my appointment with the Apple store i was using my phone and my screen randomly went black and stopped working. And the p.roblem now i cant use it. I tried restarting the phone but I can't restart it due to my lock button not working so i need help with a solution on what i can do. I missed my appointment today because i could no longer use my phone and i'm now stuck using my laptop. I did also try connecting it to my MacBook but the screen was still unresponsive and black. I rescheduled my appointment to Monday to see what is wrong with my button and screen but in the meanwhile i would like to know if there is anything i can do or if i would just have to wait until monday and take it in to Apple. Any help would be really appreciated as i am phonelss for now until i take it in to Apple in a few days. Thanks.

How Can I Restart Two-Sided Printing On the Second Side?

I printed a PDF document in two-sided mode. I apparently waited too long after printing the first side because when I clicked on "Continue", nothing happened and the printer just said "Ready". How can I restart this print job so that only the second side of each sheet is printed?

Asssuming you are using Adobe reader you would go to "Print Range" and in the "subset" box select to only print the even (or odd, depending on which have already printed) pages . You may or may not need to check the "reverse pages" box depending on which page is on top in the paper tray - if it is the first of second page then do not reverse pages.

I can't open firefox. i can't send details regarding that to mozilla. i can't restart

it's regarding a problem occuring in Firefox in windows 7. I can't open Firefox in my windows 7 os. i can't restart. send no reports. i tried re installing. it doesn't solve my problem.. eager to here from you. i,m using firefox as my default browser from 2007 n this is 1st time experiencing such a problem..... plz help me....

Hi ragesh,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
Hopefully this helps!

HT1277 Can't restart because Mail says it's open but won't let me quit.

I have a MacBook Pro and have updated to Mavericks. I'm trying to update iTunes, but it isn't working because it says I need to quit Mail. I don't USE this application, but when I try to quit it, "Quit" is grayed out! How can I restart? I also won't be able to update anything which requires a restart until I can solve this problem. Please help! Thanks!

->Force Quit, select Mail

Firefox froze up. So I removed from computer and reloaded. If I close Firefox, can't restart by clicking on the icon. Have to end process in Task Manager. It then starts. Some links on some web pages won't work.

Hi,
As I say in the question I don't know what happened but Firefox just stopped operating and then became erratic. So I removed the firefox programme from my computer and reloaded Firefox.
It now runs normally but I can't run Firefox on two tabs, only one, and if I close it down during a session I can't reopen it using the desk top icon. I go to task manager, processes, and end process for Firefox - then I can start it using the icon on the desktop.
I have also noticed that some links on a web page won't work - javascript is involved.
Thanks for your herlp,
Mike FD

It sounds like you are getting in a hurry.
If you force Firefox to close in a hurry, then it won't normally start until you re-start the computer. There are ways around this, but I'm not going to go into them right now.
None-force way to close Firefox down: Close the program and wait. Do something else. Firefox appears as if it is closed, but it's not. Firefox cleans out cookies and it's cache after you close it. That takes a few minutes. You can't restart it while it's doing house cleaning.
After it is done, then you can restart Firefox normally. You can watch it in the Task Manager.
The same applies if you are installing javascript. You have to wait a few minutes.
As for running it with multiple tabs, I usually have 5 or 6, or more, tabs open at a time. Have no idea what the problem is there. Firefox needs special permission by use of a pop-up option to close with multiple tabs open.

How can I restart my mac book pro 11 inches when it's on target disc mode

Even if you could open Disk Utility you can't reformat a disk while you are booted from it. You will have to use the install CD. Ring the Apple Online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page and give them the serial number of your Mac. You should be able to get the Snow Leopard install disks for a nominal fee.

How can i restart my 2004 model ipod (click wheel) on my computer and on my itunes?

Connect the iPod nano to the computer the exact same way you set up the old one. You don't need to create another Apple ID, iTunes Store account, or iTunes library.

HT201263 When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong

When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong?

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
- If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
- If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

When installing Maverick on my 17" Macbook pro I got the message that my HD is damaged and can't be repaired. I now can't restart without simply repeating the attempt to install Maverick and thereby returning to the same message. How do I abort install

When installing Maverick on my 17" Macbook pro I got the message that my HD was damaged and couldn't be repaired. (not good news!!) I now can't restart without returning to the Maverick setup and therefore returning to the same message. How do I abort the Maverick installation so that I can try to return to the previous OS so that I can try to recover/repair the HD

I have the same problem with my 2008 MacBook. Repair disk from disk utility says it was successful but the installer thinks it's groundhog day after a reboot. I also tried fsck -fy after booting in to a command mode and it came back clean but again the installer gives the same error message. It seems like a bit is stuck somewhere indicating my HD is bad when it isn't.
I had the latest version of Mountain Lion and have applied every upgrade up to then without issue.
Anyone find a solution yet without having to erase the entire disk and staring over?
Attached is a screen shot of the error.

The best way is to let the battery die. Or you can reset the phone settings which restarts everything.
