KDM and (not) logging out

[andrea]

Hi,

Fedora 28.

I was forced to use KDE as opposed to GNOME due to other issues (see 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1585491) and I've had the following issue
more often 
than not.

Once a user logs out of KDE it might take a while (sometimes forever) to get a new KDE
login window.

Other times I try a reboot from the console and it tells me there are still users logged
in.

There are 3 people using the PC at home, and except me the other 2 are simply browsing the
web.
I (try to) login in the evening and often have to reboot the machine.

This has been a complete reinstall from Fedora 27 and users folders have been wiped
clean.

I am using sddm as login manager.
GDM is far superior, but its integration with KDE was poor.

Overall I can't wait to get Fedora 29 where I hope GNOME will work properly.

Below is the output of ps after the user jackie has logged out from KDE.
I see a lot of stuff still hanging there.

Is this what causes KDE not to present a new login window? or to prevent quick shutdown?

Try editing your /etc/systemd/logind.conf file to have...

KillUserProcesses=yes

(Don't recall if a reboot is needed for it to take effect)

You might have more luck on the Fedora KDE list (
kde(a)lists.fedoraproject.org)
