 Posted: Wed Aug 02, 2017 6:08 am Post subject: [solved] Plasma: no shutdown/reboot |
 |
|
On a fresh system install I added plasma by selecting the corresponding profile. I expected that this would automatically install the plasma-meta package but I need to do it on top of that. It looked like | Code: | emerge -av plasma-meta
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] kde-plasma/plasma-meta-5.9.5:5::gentoo USE="display-manager handbook pam sddm wallpapers -bluetooth -grub -gtk -networkmanager -plymouth -pulseaudio -sdk" 0 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]n |
No kde-apps, very clean actually. But then I noticed the missing buttons for shutdown/reboot in the kde menu, same with the plasmoid in the task bar. I have to pull the plug to shutdown.
I have searched the internet and found many old complaints about this behaviour of KDE, but most of them date before 2012 and the solutions do not apply to me since they were based on bugs that are meanwhile eliminated. So where did I do something wrong?
BTW, no idea what to present (consolekit etc all installed).

Profiles don't add packages to world file.
You do know the wiki, did you properly look at the 'Prerequisites' section and configure services? |

I have checked this page earlier. | Code: | grep pam_ck_connector /etc/pam.d/system-login
session optional pam_ck_connector.so nox11 |
Looks perfect, still does not work. Did not test the other option because I understand one should have only one of the two options configured.

Prerequisites I met:
1) plasma profile in use
2) dbus 1.10.18, polkit 0.113, virtual/udev 217, no sys-fs/udev installed but is sys-fs/eudev 3.1.5, udisk 2.1.8
3) eudev: rc-update add udev sysinit ..... * rc-update: udev already installed in runlevel `sysinit'; skipping it is active
4) console-kit 1.1.2: I could not activate the [*] Enable system-call auditing support in the kernel configuration file since it is not there as described in the ConsoleKit wiki.
5) not sure about the others. Never touched these before. When I e.g. do udisk --monitor I get an "unknown command".
That's complicated ...very complicated

Not really.
Does this work? | Code: | ~ $ udisksctl monitor
Monitoring the udisks daemon. Press Ctrl+C to exit.
09:51:05.518: The udisks-daemon is running (name-owner :1.37).
|
Then:
- How is plasma started?
- Do you have the consolekit USE flag enabled?
- Is dbus running?
- Is powerdevil installed?
- Is upower installed?
- Did you try to use elogind instead of consolekit already?

No. "Error connecting to the udisks daemon: connection failed: file or directory not found"
- How is plasma started? --> sddm
- Do you have the consolekit USE flag enabled? -->Yep, by means of selecting the plasma profile, i.e. it is not again in the make.conf
- Is dbus running? -->I believe no. rc-update did not show it, rc-update show -v does. Never touched that before.
- Is powerdevil installed? -->yes, version 5.9.5
- Is upower installed? -->yes, version 0.99.4
- Did you try to use elogind instead of consolekit already? -->???Why, How? I don't understand what they do and what would trigger preference of one to the other

leads to the following test:
What does "/etc/init.d/dbus status" show? If it shows that dbus is stopped, then please add it to the boot runlevel with: | Code: | | rc-update add dbus boot |
You do not have to reboot, just issue the command: "openrc" which should start all pending services.

So it seems that these services were not started. What I did:
1)dbus---started, added to default, visisble by rc-update --show
2) consolekit ---unclear: | Code: | sudo /etc/init.d/consolekit start
* Starting consolekit ...
* start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon is already running
* Failed to start consolekit [ !! ]
* ERROR: consolekit failed to start |
but | Code: | sudo ck-list-sessions
Session4:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = 'unspecified'
session-class = 'user'
session-state = 'active'
active = TRUE
x11-display = ':0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2017-08-02T12:13:05.157608Z'
login-session-id = '4'
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR = '/var/run/user/1000'
VTNr = '7'
|
and | Code: | sudo /etc/init.d/consolekit stop
* WARNING: consolekit is already stopped |
I entered the commands exactly in this sequence.
Regarding the required kernel modules I do neither of the two required (Auditing Support & Enable system call Auditing Support) in my config file, therefore cannot enable them.
3) udisk seems to work now, although again my kernel config doe not contain one of the required module: USB runtime power management. Since it is USB, I don't expect it to be an issue. | Code: | udisksctl monitor
Monitoring the udisks daemon. Press Ctrl+C to exit.
14:39:13.050: The udisks-daemon is running (name-owner :1.5).
14:40:21.501: /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/Samsung_SSD_860_EVO_260GB_S4G7KLMF244466K: org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Drive.Ata: Properties Changed |
There is a difference in the Plasma menu in that now two more options are listet: change user and standby.
EDIT: seems that consolekit is the cause for some problems. | Code: | sudo pkcheck --list-temp
Passwort:
Error getting session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Error.General: Unable to lookup session information for process '4607' |

Hello asturm, correct me if I am wrong: my understanding is, that these services are automatically activated during installation, no need to manually start them.
The only explanation I can see is that I was messing up my kernel configuration and unchecked something essential for these services. If this is the case, is there a way to identify it (log?) or is re-installation of the kernel the better way?

That understanding is wrong, as you can read in the quote of mine you selected. |

Isn't that resolved just by unmerging upower
and emerging upower-pm-utils ??
( no need to mess with any file)

This solves nothing, in fact it pushes you back to unmaintained, unsupported and conflicting upower-pm-utils. Don't do it. |

All services working 
Problem not solved 
I umerged, then installed again, consolekit.
All services are running: dbus, polkit, udisk, eudev, consolekit
No shutdown/reboot button.

I wanted to quote the shutdown command in the system settings in reply to you. But...the menu has changed and it is all there now.
I assume this has to do with that I usually did indeed kept the power button pressed until the computer shutdown. This did not result in any improvement.
Now for the very first time I had shut down from the terminal. And tata, it is there. It seems that the session is saved when the shutdown is done by pressing the power button (it is not a power switch).
Summary: get all services, particularly consolekit, up and running, then shut down from the terminal.
Just a theory.
Cheers

Just for future reference:
Do this only if, and I mean really really ONLY if, you have no possibility to shut down through any console (If in a DE, use ALT+F1 to switch, if you can not even start an xterm), and are not able to bring down the machine through Magic SysRQ.
Since I first installed Gentoo in 2003, and I have powered about two dozen machines with Gentoo since then, I have only one machine where such a crude "Pull-The-Plug"-Method is needed: My Laptop, that has a BIOS bug, causing it to sometimes (1 in 50 or so cases) not to wake up from suspension, and to freeze instead.
Please remember: "Pulling the plug" is the worst thing you can do!

| I concur with Yamakuzure's advice. I have one minor nit on the implementation. When in X, Alt+Fn is handled by the X server, which does not treat it specially. It will typically be passed to the foreground application or to the window manager if a binding exists. In either case, it is unlikely to perform a vt-switch even when the system is in good order. To perform an orderly vt-switch from within X, use Ctrl+Alt+Fn. |
