Bug 451954 – KDE system shutdown/restart support with systemd-logind

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mike Gilbert 2013-01-14 01:56:19 UTC]

Elias suggested I file a Gentoo bug for this.

libkworkspace needs an adjustment to work with systemd-logind instead of consolekit. There is an upstream bug with a patch that is working for me.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293978

[Comment 1 Elias Probst 2013-01-14 02:00:39 UTC]

This patch should be applied to libkworkspace when USE="systemd".
It also requires MYCMAKEARGS="-DKWORKSPACE_USE_SYSTEMD=ON" to be set.

Which versions do we want to apply this to? 4.9.x? Or only 4.10.x?
Mike tested it against 4.9.5, could someone test this for 4.10.x?

[Comment 2 Mike Gilbert 2013-01-14 02:02:01 UTC]

Sorry, upstream bug is here:

Oops, this turns out not to have made it into 4.10.

I am assuming you want this backported?

[Comment 4 Mike Gilbert 2013-02-09 00:47:27 UTC]

I'm in no particular hurry.

I'm on 4.11 and it still fails to shutdown (reboot).

[Comment 8 Mike Gilbert 2013-08-16 00:46:21 UTC]

Confirmed working for me; I now see the shutdown/restart options in the menu and I have successfully tested the restart option.

[Comment 9 Pavel Volkov 2013-08-16 05:16:47 UTC]

I could see shutdown and restart options in Kickoff even in 4.10.
But it still relies on /sbin/shutdown with 4.11 and /sbin/shutdown is missing. Maybe I have wrong USEs? kde-base/kdm is built with USE=systemd.

[Comment 10 Pavel Volkov 2013-08-16 05:19:08 UTC]

In /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc RebootCmd and HaltCmd are commented out.

Does it still fail with a new user/clean profile?

Yes. Reboot can also be initiated from login screen without logging in. Both methods fail.

[Comment 13 Mike Gilbert 2013-08-16 19:15:52 UTC]

In case it makes a difference, I'm logging in on the console with pam_systemd.so in /etc/pam.d/system-login, and using startx to load KDE.

[Comment 14 Pavel Volkov 2013-08-16 19:18:13 UTC]

I'm using KDM, logind is properly notified of the session:

$ loginctl 
   SESSION        UID USER             SEAT            
         1       1000 rondo            seat0

[Comment 15 Johannes Huber (RETIRED) 2013-09-26 18:39:08 UTC]

systemd-logind works here.

[Comment 16 Pavel Volkov 2013-10-08 15:12:18 UTC]

I still have this error in 4.11:
kdm[12916]: Failed to execute shutdown command "/sbin/shutdown -r now"

(shutdown -r is the default reboot configured in kdmrc)

Did you run etc-update or similar?

[Comment 18 Pavel Volkov 2013-10-08 16:47:47 UTC]

Yes.
Actually, I was wrong, HaltCmd= and RebootCmd= are empty and commented out.

[Shutdown]
# The command (subject to word splitting) to run to halt the system.
# Default is "/sbin/shutdown -h -P now"
#HaltCmd=
# The command (subject to word splitting) to run to reboot the system.
# Default is "/sbin/shutdown -r now"
#RebootCmd=

[Comment 19 Pavel Volkov 2013-10-08 16:49:49 UTC]

I have openrc and sysvinit uninstalled and there are no shutdown/halt/reboot/poweroff commands.

[Comment 20 Mike Gilbert 2013-10-08 17:11:15 UTC]

The logind functionality clearly works for some (most?) people. I would recommend filing a separate bug rather than leaving comments here.

[Comment 21 Pavel Volkov 2013-10-08 17:41:12 UTC]

Reopened bug 479426 instead.
