Details
Trying to shutdown the system through the Application
Launcher > Leave > Shutdown, won't work at all (there
isn't even that confirmation window). Shutting down through
KDM works though.
No errors shown in ~/.xsession-errors or /var/log/Xorg.0.log, so I guess it's not an Xorg related issue. /var/log/errors or dmesg doesn't report any related problem. HAL, acpid, dbus, are running succesfully. The system is fully updated (with [testing] enabled). |
This task depends upon
Are you able to popup the shutting down dialog using the following command:
qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout 1 2 2
@wonder: i'm using KDM
The problem is that I can shutdown/reboot properly through KDM, I can do that (of course) through a terminal, but the shutdown dialog won't appear at all, as if there is a problem.
is DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS exported for you ?
is ksmserver running ('ps aux | grep ksmserver' or similar) ?
does it happen with a clean user profile ?
Yes it is exported.
flamelab@prometheus ~ $ export | grep DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
declare -x DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-47NfkFCcez,guid=da1bb2a8792117e86b33d2ef00000018"
and
2. ksmserver
flamelab@prometheus ~ $ ps aux | grep ksmserver
flamelab 3815 0.0 0.0 3872 292 ? S 21:06 0:00 kwrapper4 ksmserver
flamelab 3816 0.0 0.6 380116 26672 ? Sl 21:06 0:00 kdeinit4: ksmserver [kdeinit]
flamelab 4810 0.0 0.0 8344 960 pts/1 S+ 21:08 0:00 grep --colour=auto ksmserver
The user profile is exactly one month old.
What should I try ? A new .kde4 or a new user ?
flamelab@prometheus ~ $ qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout 1 2 2
flamelab@prometheus ~ $
(and I see no windows or anything displayed after running that)
I 'll try:
1)Creating a new use
2)Using GDM
2b)Using gdm-old
3)Starting kde from xinitrc
It seems to be a KDE related issue though, even though it seems to be more widespread (I know some users who have that problem with KDE, I'll tell them to make a post here in order to have more views on that issue.)
Also, except for shutdown, reboot and logout don't work. BUT Suspend to ram works (haven't tried suspend to disk)
1)Creating a new user*
Reboot/shutdown/logout prompt window works on Xfce4 and GNOME (with their correspondent tools of course)
(it still doesn't for KDE)
Well, there is a problem: the issue is "resolved" if I create a new user and login with that ! Then, it seems to be an issue in my user's dotfiles. Since having a new .kde4 doesn't help, then the issue where should it be located ?
I logged into my normal account.
The issue seems to be located within ~/.config
I mv'ed .config to .config-bak (so that i'll have a new one in the next login) and the problem seems to be "solved" !
The directory's contents are:
flamelab@prometheus ~/.config $ ls
0ad autostart chromium Dolezel Google mousepad QSpeedTest smplayer tint2 xfce4
akonadi awesome Clementine emesene1.0 libfm nautilus qtcurve Terminal Trolltech.conf xfce4-session
aurploader Bespin compiz gnormalize menus pcmanfm ristretto Thunar vlc
(That is actually good news, since it doesn't seem to be an actual direct KDE problem)
can you try if it is related to the akonadi folder, it's seems to be the only one which may influence anything in kde as you already ruled out the themes by using a clean .kde4.
deleting akonadi/ (the only KDE related directory) doesn't do something (the problem is still there).
Moving/deleting the whole .config, solves the issue.
