Probably, but it looks like a bug in systemd! How shutdown works in Plasma
sessions if you use KDM is that Plasma's ksmserver tells KDM to shut down,
KDM (which runs as root) then just execs the basic shutdown and reboot
commands which are supposed to still work.
We will need to support shutting down directly through systemd (and its
D-Bus interface) for GDM users anyway (right now, we use ConsoleKit for non-
KDM users, and that's deprecated now), but it's quite likely that KDM will
remain the preferred way to shut down.
Hi Kevin,
It appears to be that an other troublemaker is the culprit. SELinux in
permissive mode (!?) blocks the reboot/shutdown action and/or 'replaces' it by
a log out. In restrictive mode logging in takes more than 30 seconds to
succeed. Now, SELinux disabled, everyting works smooth. Also the nepomuk
crashes [1] are gone. There must be something very wrong with SELinux, I'll
file a bug report against it. :-)
Thanks,
Martin Kho
