I found the reason in my case: (see source below)
when there is more than one dcopserver process, powerbtn.sh rudely shuts down
all of them.
this (extra dcopserver) may come from a second kde session, but also (as
in my case) from a "sudo kate powerbtn.sh" (the second dcopserver lives
on!).
i think the named behaviour is wrong. powerbtn.sh should either
- ask the user in the currently active session
- or just hibernate without destroying anything
best aexl
ps: remarkable fact that bugtracking helped trigger the bug in this case ;-)
from /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh:
KDESES=`pidof dcopserver | wc -w`
if [ $KDESES -eq 1 ] ; then
# single KDE session -> ask user
/usr/bin/dcop --all-sessions --all-users ksmserver ksmserver logout 1 2 0
exit 0
else
# more than one KDE session - just send shutdown signal to all of them
/usr/bin/dcop --all-sessions --all-users ksmserver ksmserver logout 0 2
0 && exit 0
fi
