Lucid Puppy 528 runs extremely well. Just recently the menu items
"Power off computer" and "Reboot computer" don't work. I can shutdown only by pressing Ctl-Alt-Backspace. MyPuppy is a frugal install on WinVista machine, plus Chrome browser, Open Office, and Chinese (Scim) input.
Any suggestions? Any further info needed? Many thanks.

Hello, Marcel.
Shutdown problems have been reported now and then, particularly in the latest slacko and wary Puppies. I'm not a programmer, so I cannot offer an analysis or a rewrite of the routines, but I know the following alternative generally works.
Go back to the initial black console with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and type, as the case may be:
busybox shutdown
OR
busybox reboot
In a frugal install your work or changes are saved as you go, so you will not lose anything even if you close your session this way.
Best regards.

There might be something wrong ..I can shutdown only by pressing Ctl-Alt-Backspace
Ctl-Alt-Backspace should drop out of X to the prompt
Ctl-Alt-F2-3 should switch to tty2 and tty3 consoles .
At the console the CTL key should not be needed to switch the consoles .
Ctl-Alt-DELETE could reboot the pc
probably because
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
is found in /etc/inittab
.
The files to look for are shell scripts :
/usr/bin/wmreboot
/usr/bin/wmpoweroff
to kill X and other
/sbin/poweroff
/sbin/reboot
to run
/etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown
and after that
busybox reboot
busybox poweroff
rc.shutdown runs /etc/init.d/scripts stop ,closes daemons and unmounts everything left mounted
before returning to /sbin/poweroff||/sbin/reboot
This might work:
