--- Comment #25 from Rewarp <rew...@thestrayworld.com> ---
I would like to chime in with a particular setup that makes the lack of an easy
access to the shutdown procedure from the power button from the lock screen
dangerously insecure.
I am setting up servers for schools running openSUSE with docker containers
containing various services, with the Plasma interface. They are designed to be
as easy to use as possible since we are talking about primary and secondary
schools. No one expects any teacher there to be a moonlighting sysadmin.
To shutdown the server properly in such a scenario would be too much of a
hassle for them, so I used the system settings for power management to trigger
a shutdown when the power button is pressed. However, the power button doesn't
work if the screenlock is on. The screenlock should ideally be on so that
teachers and trusted students can access the desktop interface for whatever
reason. The only protection therefore for such a unit thus far in an exposed
environment is the lack of a KVM. I can imagine that's not going to be much of
a barrier for kids determined to do mischief.
So my hope is there will be a user toggle option that allows the power button
to shutdown the system safely should it be necessary from the lockscreen.
