[opensuse-kde3] root permission needed to shut down
When KDM was dropped from TW, I switched many of my TW installations running Plasma to kdebase3-kdm, since all other other login managers are hopelessly feature deficient by comparison. This has worked fine until upgrading to 20200611. Now after logging out of a Plasma session, the greeter requires permission to select turn off computer.

No, That means /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc is configured to require root password to poweroff or reboot. I found that in 15.2. Look and make sure you have AllowShutdown=All You may need to restart kdm for the change to be seen. -- David C.

First found was commented using =root. I uncommented and changed to =All. It didn't help even after reboot. Changing the later one did fix it. :-) -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

Crap! I just tried as well and I'm still prompted for the damn root password to shut down -- what the hell could this be? Is it a nanny apparmor thing? I'll try the regular list. -- David C.

Re: [opensuse-kde] SDDM does not reboot the computer anymore
I filed a bug for it: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1172914 There was a similar bug reopened recently about others not being able to suspend without giving root password. I included that link in this report as in that case they CAN shutdown/reboot just fine, but cannot suspend without the root password. My guess is the smartest guy in the room was reading about either systemd, wayland or apparmor and found a really neat option they wanted to try and build it to give enterprise customers peace of mind that only root can shutdown -- without thinking of the unintended consequences on regular users.... -- David C.

I don't know why the site comes up like that. I just had the 'change account password thing' after using my original password up to the bug before this one. The odd thing about it was after entering my NEW password, all bugzilla showed was Novell products and I had to click "Other" to even find openSUSE distribution??? -- David C.

Unlike with Plasma in TW, selecting shutdown from the KDM3 greeter works as expected. :-)
We may need to compare kdmrc files then. Originally shutdown from kde on 15.2 prompts for root password to be entered. I don't know what I did, but now I'm just dumped to a terminal (I login and then poweroff)
These kdmrc files are from 15.2/KDE3 host hp945 updated several hours ago, last updated March 31, originally created as a zypper dup from 42.2: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/KDE3/ I've removed login names from them, which is why timestamps are current, and dates have been prepended to the filenames. Shutdown/reboot behavior from KDM on this installation seems normal, other than a pause first from a popup on logout that doesn't stay up long enough for me to copy word for word, about sound server fatal error can't create dcop directory. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

Ok, there is very little difference. You have TerminateServer=true, I've tried it both ways and it doesn't effect my shutdown problem. (though probably better to leave set to 'true' to prevent against memory leaks between sessions. When I rt-click and "Log out David" then choose "Turn Off Computer", I am dumped to a terminal. I then log in and systemctl poweroff (in the beginning I was presented with a "Root Password" dialog - but that has disappeared) The differences in our current kdmrc files isn't much. I pulled the HaltCmd and RebootCmd from 42.3 (which was duped to 15.0) and I have tried those settings with the default and with them specifically set. The actual differences are: $ diff <(noc 20200623kdmrc-s152-hp945OK) <(noc ../mine/kdmrc) 9a10,11

I'm beginning to suspect the accidental mixing of TDE/KDE by whoever messed with kdelibs3 may have been broader than originally thought.

After full update today, shutdown works without prompting for root password. It still dumps to a terminal, but then the openSUSE wayland screen starts and shutdown continues without requiring any further user interaction! Yes! No "Embedded Advanced Text Editor (katepart)" is still broken (still has X-TDE as the service type), but things are better. -- David C.

Felix, I have written that bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1172914 can be closed. It is working fine now. If you are still seeing problems with 15.2 (or other version), then add a comment to the bug so they know there are other platfoms affected. -- David C.
