Hi, a recent update to KDE made it impossible to the user to logout or to shutdown the system. Therefore I suggest to change our default way how updates are applied. a) Always download the updates in advance in the background We could even be more elegant and throttle the download speed if other processes use the same link. b) Apply the updates on shutdown Doing b) after the user finished the X sesison ensures we never lock her in. Via a new setting is a /etc/sysconfig/ file we're able to change the default. For example to apply updates always at system startup or to keep the update process at the same way as it currently is. Maybe we're already able to achieve this and I missed the configuration option. But our current default settings lead to the described desktop lock situation.
