Sticky Exit for Leap 15.1

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi

I’m enjoying the new Leap 15.1 Beta (KDE option). My itch is with the “sticky exit”.

When I exit using the normal buttons at “Application Launcher” then “Leave” I can exit via the system buttons “Reboot” or “Shut Down”. These get me out of the “Session” and suggest to me that I should click one of four new unnecessary additional buttons with a clock on top. From there I can wait for the clock to stop or hit another button that again should allow exit straight away.

I see that as OK, just a bit sticky.

From there though, I get to the really sticky bit: I get the cute Green Leap icon on Blue-Grey background, and I have to wait another two or three minutes before the computer blacks out and stops. This stoppage is mandatory.

Are there any settings that will allow me to exit quickly? What am I missing?

In the interim I’m using my own executable to exit immediately (see below) but I’d rather have a well-working un-sticky 15.1 when it is released.

#!/bin/sh
/usr/lib64/qt5/bin/qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer logout 0 2 2

John, is that one your ‘old’ homedir?

System Settings –> Startup and Shutdown –> Desktop Session

Uncheck the box “Confirm Logout”.

That should remove the extra step.

Ah Ha! I had looked and looked and didn’t see it. It’s working well now.

Thanks.

That little tweak came from google search and the search landed here: Shutdown kde correctly from command-line

I don’t need it now thanks to nrickert
