Bug ID: 418603
Summary: If unattended-upgrades, or another daemon, currently
has a shutdown lock the session gets stuck in a black
void when 'shutting down'
Product: ksmserver
Version: 5.18.1
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: ferenos...@outlook.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When unattended-upgrades is running a scheduled update for your system, which
results in a shutdown lock, or a different background service has a shutdown
lock in place, when the user tries to shut down from the Plasma Desktop the
session reaches the point where it should end (the black screen) but the
session never ends automatically, resulting in the user becoming stuck in that
black void indefinitely until they go into TTY or force a power off by other
means.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable unattended-upgrades, have some updates available and turn on the
computer on a day that unattended-upgrades is scheduled to run on
2. Log in, and then try shutting down from the desktop
OBSERVED RESULT
The desktop session never ends, after getting to the point where it's ready to
immediately end the desktop session, leaving users with just a black screen and
their cursor left from what is left of that desktop session.
EXPECTED RESULT
The session will at least end, and/or the desktop will stay running until the
shutdown lock is no longer in effect in which case it should THEN start the
part of the log out process that quits plasmashell, etc.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.18.2
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If I recall correctly, GNOME doesn't have this issue but it does require
authentication to shutdown or restart when a shutdown lock is in effect.
