Description Sebastian Vahl 2008-04-07 14:36:52 UTC

Description of problem:
In KDE 3.5.9 (or up to kde-settings-3.5-38) the entry for "BootManager" is not 
set. With KDE4 it is set to "BootManager=grub". So if you want to reboot from 
KDM directly you have to choose which grub entry should be used after the next 
boot.
IMHO this is a little bit confusing, at least if you update your system "in 
the normal way". So there will always be two kernels listed (and maybe 
the "Other" entry for Windows). But a normal user will maybe expect that a hit 
on "Reboot" just reboot his machine


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kde-settings-kdm-4.0-15

How reproducible:
ever

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure that there is more than one entry in /etc/grub.conf
2. Start kdm
3. Hit reboot
  
Actual results:
You have to choose one entry to actually reboot.

Expected results:
The machine just reboot.

This is also reported to cause issues with SELinux, though I can't find the bug 
report anymore.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2008-04-07 14:56:25 UTC

I'm against changing this (I added BootManager=grub on purpose).  :)

You'll only see reboot options if you press-n-hold reboot button.  Simply
clicking reboot will reboot into grub's default choice.

This behaviour is not working with KDE4's KDM anymore (at least for me/my 
mouse) . Now I have to select an entry everytime. A short single click doesn't 
work.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2008-04-07 15:30:44 UTC

worksforme.  Wait, I see the opposite, I don't see any list of options on
press-n-hold anymore. ??

Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2008-04-08 16:38:35 UTC

See also: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374011 for the SELinux 
trouble.

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2008-04-09 00:14:59 UTC

confirmed ok here with selinux=enforcing.

But, due to selinux policy (bug #373011), BootManager=grub doesn't work, so I
guess there's no point in trying to use it.

fixed in rawhide
