KDE - shutdown/reboot/etc options not working
My current system is fully migrated to systemd, however this issue was occurring before the migration. KDM is used as my login manager.
The various options in the Leave menu (shutdown/reboot/log off/ etc) do nothing when chosen. I am forced to use the terminal to reboot the machine. It is a HP ProBook 4430s laptop. I do not know how to debug this, any info you can provide would be very helpful.
If you need additional info, please let me know..

Re: KDE - shutdown/reboot/etc options not working
Make sure whatever you have configured in kdmrc corresponds to the commands which actually need to be executed in order to reboot and halt the system. (I had to change these for systemd.)

Perhaps the polkit issue: if you updated kdebase-workspace to 4.9.2-5 you should also update polkit to 0.107-4

Re: KDE - shutdown/reboot/etc options not working
Hmm, I think I am getting somewhere. I backed up my KDE settings:
mv ~/.kde4/ ~/.kde4_backupand relogged to my account. Now all the options work as intended.
Did I miss a memo somewhere? I'm typically good with looking at the pacman logs, but I'll double check to see if I missed something.
Out of interest, which file in the ~/.kde4/ folder is in charge of those settings?
Thanks.

Re: KDE - shutdown/reboot/etc options not working
That's why i do not understand why packagers do not start to fix packages instead of relying on a transition package.
