[opensuse-factory] Configure Desktop - Startup and Shutdown/Autostart
Hi I used to be able to have a script run on logout, i've had to configure to run on "Shutdown" as the only options are "Startup, Shutdown and pre KDE Startup" - are there any plans for there to be a "run script on logout" which i could use on KDE4? I'm using the just released TW snapshot. regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

What now? On KDE4? Or on Plasma5? Anyway, "Shutdown" means to run it on logout, i.e. during shutdown of the KDE session. So, no, there are no plans to add a "run script on logout" option, as that exists already. And especially KDE4 is feature frozen since nearly 2 years and is reaching its end of life soon anyway. But, running scripts on shutdown/logout is broken in Plasma 5.3.1. It has been fixed for 5.3.2 (released on Tuesday, see https://dot.kde.org/2015/06/30/plasma-532-fixes-your-shutdown-scripts ), which should be in Tumbleweed soon. You could "fix" it yourself by opening /usr/bin/startkde in a text editor (as root), and change the line: test -x "$prefix$file" && "$prefix$file" to: test -x "$prefix/shutdown/$file" && "$prefix/shutdown/$file" Kind Regards, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Anyway, "Shutdown" means to run it on logout, i.e. during shutdown of the KDE session. Perhaps the text needs to change from "Shutdown" to "Logout", its misleading as Shutdown is usually means to switch off the machine.

Yep, thats why i tried it again, i didn't know if it was in this snapshot or not. Thats when I got confused over the meaning of "Shutdown"
You could "fix" it yourself by opening /usr/bin/startkde in a text editor (as root), and change the line: test -x "$prefix$file" && "$prefix$file" to: test -x "$prefix/shutdown/$file" && "$prefix/shutdown/$file" I just run it manually at the moment, its my backup script for the user.

which i could use on KDE4?
That line should be "which i used to use on KDE4", sorry for the confusion.
