[gentoo-user] KDE machine -> Shutdown icons gone walkabout

[gentoo-user] KDE machine -> Shutdown icons gone walkabout

[Andrew Lowe]

Hi all,
	I recently, last week or so, did some updating of my KDE desktop and 
when I went to select "Shutdown" off the menu bar thingy, no icons for 
"Logout", "Shutdown" & "Some Other Thing" appeared as they used to. I in 
turn had to open up a shell, su and then "shutdown -t now" to bring the 
machine down. Have I missed something somewhere as to why I no longer 
get the icons? Has something been broken down into smaller bits and I 
now have to emerge something else to get the icons back?

	Thoughts greatly appreciated,

		Andrew

Do you have consolekit or elogind installed and running?

The problem is mentioned in the KDE/Troubleshooting article in the Wiki:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE/Troubleshooting#Missing_shutdown.2Freboot.2Fsuspend.2Fhibernate_buttons_.28with_consolekit.29  
in case that might help.

	A bit of a wait and a few more emerges and it appears to have fixed 
itself. Cause - unknown!!!
