Bug ID: 417889
Summary: Exiting user session leaves user processes running
Product: ksmserver
Version: 5.18.1
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: colabor...@pseudoname.io
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
If I start a session with one user, do some activity and then close the
session, and then I start a new session with a different user, I can see, in
htop, several instances of the process "agent" that belong to the former user,
and which path is /usr/libexec/geoclue-2.0/demos/. By the name I guess it has
to do with geolocation, which I have not activated for that user (not sure if
for any), so I guess it must come active by default. I don't think that's a
nice privacy policy even in Linux and KDE dont have backdoors.
Ok, let's center and not divagate too much... The point is that I believe that
one user's processes should be shut down, or killed if they refuse to terminate
gracefully, once the user logs out.
There have been similar reports even since 10 years ago, but I'm not sure if
those are exactly like this one. In one, it seemed related to encryption or
Akonadi; in the other, affected the login process; this one I report doesnt
seem to produce any malfunction in anything (the processes just "sit" there
wasting resources). but if you consider this is a duplicate, feel free to mark
it as such, but then please reopen the one that says it's resolved/fixed.
The mentioned reports are these:
