When I go to use the logout/shutdown/restart buttons in Plasma 5, the computer does not take the action requested.
A message in the style of Shutdown called with confirm -1 type 2 and mode -1 is appended to ~/.xsession-errors each second (approximately, I didn't time it). qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout x y z with x, y, z some integer (not just the values allowed) does the same, and the log reflects the values passed. In this case, at the time of the request, but only once, the ~/.xsession-errors shows also kf5.kinit.klauncher: appId= ":1.49" newAppId= ":1.49" pendingAppId= "*.polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1" kf5.kinit.klauncher: appName= "49" I don't have systemd. ConsoleKit is build from a revision somewhere around 0.9.2 from the ConsoleKit2 github repository, and running ck-list-sessions returns two sessions, such as: Session3: unix-user = '1000' realname = 'Christian' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = TRUE x11-display = ':0' x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7' display-device = '' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2015-07-08T08:36:30.639138Z' login-session-id = '6' Session2: unix-user = '1000' realname = 'Christian' seat = 'Seat3' session-type = '' active = FALSE x11-display = ':0' x11-display-device = '' display-device = '' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2015-07-08T08:36:28.901189Z' login-session-id = '6' It can be seen that one is TRUE/TRUE, whilst the other is FALSE/TRUE, which seems reasonable. Playing with files in /etc/pam.d/{sddm,sddm-greeter} or /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsession can change these, but they tend to become more problematic/messy, rather than less. Any ideas what I could look into to try and fix this? Possibly related, although maybe not: InputActions doesn't run on startup, despite being selected. Several other startup services behave similarly. I found a text file that confirmed this, although I can't now find it again. Some reports of similar issues suggested that the problem might lie in the ability to play .ogg sound files, such as /opt/kde/share/sounds/Oxygen-Sys-Log-Out.ogg. Although I did have some problems playing this (and other) sound file(s), I have since managed to fix that up by some combination of installing KMix, adding 'load-module module-device-manager' to the bottom of /etc/pulse/default.pa and adding the plasma-volume-control in Harold Sitter's scratch repository. Sound files (including the Log-Out.ogg) now play fine. Best, Chris
