Cannot shutdown in KDE (-current and with KDE5)
by Francexi from LinuxQuestions.org on (#50KPC)
Hi everyone,
Seems like my ability to shutdown or reboot from inside X is broken (thought I can simply close the session)
I start the server with startx, and if I try to shutdown or reboot using KDE, the screen goes black with only the cursor still on, and stays like that.
I tried reinstalling all the packages from ktown and from the repository. "slackpkg install ktown" doesn't give me any missing package, same does slackpkg install-new. All other packages are up to date and I checked the Changelogs to remove any package that is not needed anymore by the system.
I spotted an error on the console, threw after akonadi shuts down: "ksmserver failed to complete logout". Tryed to search it on google and all the solutions proposed (deleting /var/tmp/kdecache", killing the process and rebooting, etc.etc.) with no luck, apparently.
I can shutdown with no problem using halt or shutdown, same goes for reboot.
Sadly, I can't say which system modification has caused the problem, since I noticed it quite some time after the last package upgrading (I don't shutdown the computer often). I currently run kernel 5.1.1
