Ok, so after today's update I can't log out of KDE, nor can I
execute
"Lock", "New session", "Suspend", "Restart",
"Shutdown". An unhelpful
dialog with "Malformed URL" message pops up and I am given a choice to
"OK" it or... I don't know, close with window "close" widget.
This is unacceptable.
Not being able to logout is a security issue and possible threat to
filesystem integrity if the user has to "hard reset" by pressing the
reset/power button
while i agree to the other rant when you need the power button just
because you can't log out from whatever desktop on a Linux system the
problem is in front of the screen
* CTRL+ALT+F2
* Enter "root"
* Enter password for root
* systemctl restart display-manager.service
and frankly you should run large updates including KDE anyways in a VT
and not within the grapcial user session (at least as long as KDE5 is in
general unstable like hell)
BTW: in better days CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE just killed the graphical
sesssion until some fools declared it as a security problem because some
foreigner could do that while you locked your session (that foreigner
could press the power button too)
don't ask me where but i restored that behavior long ago (xorg config
alone is not enough)
