[oS-EN] How do I log out from Plasma? [solved]
It is ridiculous, but I don't see how to log out. In the application launcher, click at bottom left of the desktop, it says: Sleep, Hibernate, Restart, Shut down, Applications and Places. Ah, found it. There is a tiny arrow "<" at the right of the list, that I thought would hide the list, but pops up a tiny menu: "log out, lock, switch user". How come that "log out" is hidden that much, while power down is prominent? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

Presumably you're on a laptop, since you have Sleep & Hibernate? If so, then I guess most people never log out (or hardly ever) since they're the only user, so user-related options are delegated to the sub-menu.

fwiw: a common key combination will reset the graphic.target <ctrl><alt><backspace><backspace> effectively loggin the user out. -- (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

Huh, no. That doesn't "log out", that kills the session abruptly. Session data is not saved, and I absolutely needed to save the session after so many changes during two or three days. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

Yep.

Could be. Well, I log out, then I power off or reboot, after an update. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))
