Yes this setting offers a default leave option, the question is how get this leave again on the desktop just like in Leap 4. Even bash has no logoff command !!!

I read that it had been removed in a recent version of Plasma, though I don't recall if there was a configuration added anywhere to put it back. As an alternative, if you really want it on the desktop, you could use the lock/logout Plasma widget. gumb

Using a widget to logoff is like a gun to kill a fly. But I found a realy simple alternative !!! Use Ctrl+Alt+DEL and enter . In KDE this does the logoff.

Curious, Ctrl+Alt+DEL seems the only way to use the default leave option !!!

Please go to System Settings/Startup and Shutdown --> Desktop Settings and take/post a screenshot. At least in Leap 15.4, there are two boxes at the top, under the heading "General". The second of these is "Offer Shutdown Options". If this is not ticked, do so. You may need to log out/log in to get it into your desktop/right click options.

It didn't do anything here either, which is why I suggested logging out and back in -- which I didn't try.

well, it was selected on my box when I checked and there was no option provided by <rt-click> on desktop. I also have a new machine with Tw and that option was automagically selected on install but still there is no "leave" option available on the desktop. there is an option to "log out" available on the application launcher, but it's not available by <rt-click> on desktop as it was previous. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc

OK, thanks. This wasn't clear in the OP's response to Danielle. Sounds like a bug report is in order -- though I don't know if it should go the the openSUSE team, or upstream.

If you look at the documentation for the "offer shutdown options" checkbox it says "If this option is checked, Plasma will offer a choice of actions during logout. These include simply ending the current session (the action performed if shutdown options are not enabled) turning off the computer, or restarting the computer." So this checkbox does not have to do with what is presented in the right click menu...I don't see why a bug report is appropriate.

OK, for starters, Felix's message was way down in the message thread, so I didn't get to it until well after I sent my first response. Yes, everything he says is true, but I am suggesting that it should also work if you go through the System Settings. That is all, nothing more and nothing less. If it does not work that way, then there may be a bug in the System Settings function -- either that, or it isn't intended to be there at all, and so it should be removed entirely.

Sorry, somehow the the 1st time this went out only to the originator :-) I think there are many ways to kill a fly, lately more and more often neither mouse nor multifingerings do the honors so I just reach back for the electrical switch on the box; after all, a system should always be 100% prepared for a powerout. -- Every day of the week I boot a different (Linux) OS.

I nominate Sylpheed for the Nobel prize of Compuke-Conviviality and expect every one of my OS'es and apps to behave this way or soon be gone from my computer.
