Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange problem: the option "shutdown" has disappered from the "Leave" submenu as well as from the main menu of the application launcher (I had activated its visibility using the KMenuEdit). The option to show the "shutdwon" function is shown in KMenuEdit but un-checking and re-checking it does not change the situation.
Any suggestion greatly appreciated.

Don't know much..... but you can add widgets -> lock/leave widget
Re: Application Launcher "shutdown" option gone
Thanks for the reply but the widget you suggested does not offer the option to shutdown the system. I can always run
of course but that is not the point.
Code: Select all
sudo /sbin/shutdown -h -P now
of course but that is not the point.
Re: Application Launcher "shutdown" option gone
I had that happen with starting without a display manager:
My .xinitrc:
exec /usr/bin/startxfce4 ---> NO shutdown menu (missing or greyed out).
exec ck-launch-session /usr/bin/startxfce4 --> shutdown menu.
If you're using a display manager (MDM, etc), you might reinstall it.

Please edit your original post title to include [SOLVED] if/when it is solved!

Re: Application Launcher "shutdown" option gone
Not sure how to do that, any suggestion would be very helpful. KDM is used in my system and it has always displayed the shutdown option until it stopped working a few days ago.
Re: Application Launcher "shutdown" option gone
Actually the problem might be a different one. I realized that none of the following applications works properly:
1) mintupdate: starts and then nothing happens (tried both from the menu and from terminal)
2) synaptic: starts only from terminal with

Re: Application Launcher "shutdown" option gone
It looks very much like the bug I reported a while ago:

For me it was an update of xinit:

For me it was an update of xinit:
In my case it was the upgrade of xinit to version 1.3.2-1
When I downgraded that package to 1.3.1-1, all functioned as expected.
Re: Application Launcher "shutdown" option gone
Schoelje, thanks for the reply. I had a look at the version of xinit I am using at it is the 1.3.1-1. I also had a look at the bug you indicated in your post but I failed to see how that is relevant but thanks none the less. Still haven't found a solution.
