vtown run level 4 session termination issue
by wirelessmc from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AQA9)
I have installed the latest snapshot of Slackware64-current on a brand new Desktop machine. Like one of my other development machines I will maintain two different S*64-current installs on this box. One with KDE4 and another with Plasma5. I do this because Plasma5/vtown seems to be rough around the edges still. Now to the matter at hand...
I cannot cleanly end an X session on Plasma5 - neither with logout *nor* reboot. The session termination will spin for about 20 seconds showing the black/white Plasma5 logo and then will eventually return to X. It doesn't matter if the session is started as X or KWayland. Same behavior for both.
There is no such issue when running the session from run level 3 (startx). I believe this is a bug since I followed what I thought was a correct installation procedure (see below).
Do I need other packages from ktown? Has anyone else here observed this?
Here's a recap of the install process on the brand new machine:
1) install everything except for KDE4 (including XFCE4).
2) Drop to console level.
3) Remove the package ConsoleKit2
4) Install vtown/deps and then vtown/kde packages. (upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall)
5) Reboot immediately
