Linux Lite 2.4 won't log out...Live CD or installed

demag,

Glad to hear you're shutdown problem is solved.

However while trying to follow some of the copy and paste instructions in post 15 by N4RPS I have ended up with a terminal window opening when I boot and login with this: "d@d-GA-78LMT-USB3:~$" and I'm not sure why. I can just exit out but at the next boot it's there again.

Also.... when I boot and login Firefox opens on a search page. Only minor inconveniences but can I stop them happening?

If the shutdown problem was solved by just installing the driver, then you probably didn't need to follow those instructions from N4RPS.  If you did follow them and created that file, I'm guessing that it probably won't hurt anything.  However the system stands right now (with or without that file), leave it alone because all seems to be working as is shutdown-wise.

Regarding the terminal window and Firefox opening on each boot-up, it's possible that you had those programs open at the time of a shutdown and that session got saved to be used on subsequent startups.  That's the simplest explanation, so let's try clearing any saved sessions to see if the problem disappears.  Do the following:

• To to Menu -> System -> Session and Startup -> Session (tab)
  
• Hit "Clear saved sessions" button near bottom of window
  
• Close
  
• Reboot computer and see what happens.
