[SOLVED] Can't log out on Current with KDE5
by aikempshall from LinuxQuestions.org on (#55SJ0)
I have 3 VirtualBox machines running Slackware current with AlienBob's ktown
On two of the machines I can't logout of a user. When I follow -
Application Launcher -> Leave -> Log Out
I get the dialog and count down warning that I will be logged off in 30 seconds. If I press the OK button to accelerate the log out nothing happens, I remain logged on. Even if I don't accelerate the log out and just wait the 30 seconds nothing happens, I remain logged on.
If I have another attempt at
Application Launcher -> Leave -> Log Out
I don't even get the dialog and count down warning.
root doesn't have the problem.
Wrote all the above then discovered a possible cause. The users with the issue all belonged to the group vboxusers. As these are machines running in VirtualBox I don't think they need to be to group vboxusers.
Anyway, removed the users from the vboxusers group and every thing seems to be back to how it should be. The users can log out at will.
I shall mark this as solved. Even though on the 3rd machine where the user belonged to group vboxusers could successfully log out at will
