[Ubuntu-PH] Run as root while shutting down

"It's because you are NOT 'root' while you are shutting down your pc. " 

Please kindly explain further. In Linux would it mean that we cannot shutdown as a normal user? Although in the CLI, it is only the root user who can issue the command, how can you apply or "runas" root when you press the shutdown button?

I have an answer: 
It will depend on your requirements. If you use Linux heavily e.g. development and internet, and little use on Windows for office use(i.e., excel) then it is better to run Windows as the guest OS and desktop Linux as the host. I recommend setting the memory of the Windows guest to a minimum of 2Gb or more, and 4Gb for the host and this will require a 64-bit Linux host. 


But if you use Windows heavily for example gaming and any other Windows specific applications, then you must follow above in a reverse format with a recommendation that you will install a Windows 7 64-bit edition as the host. 


Just my two-cents.

Subject: [Ubuntu-PH] Shutdown/Restart problem in 10.04 
Hello list, 

I have a problem in shutting down or restarting my ubuntu 10.04 from the menu (sometimes) . After clicking the button, it redirects me to the login screen which is really weird. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thanks

Here's a weird workaround from somebody who experienced the same problem : 



Getting the laptop to shut down 

Right click on the bar at the top of the screen select "Add to panel" and add the power off button. This seems to shut down the power OK. 


I never experienced this, though.

It's probably an Indicator Applet Session 0.3.7 bug so you need to use another panel applet (like the "Shut down..." applet) to shut your computer down. I never experienced it, though.
