Description Olaf Meltzer 2010-04-01 18:03:14 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

KDE Shutdown hangs after playing the KDE-Systemsound. There is no "Freeze", you can work as if nothing had happened. BUT there is no reaction, if you try to Shutdown again.

A work around is, to disable KDEs Systemsound to play the "Shutdown-Melody".

this problem occurs when another process is using sound system. I thing that kde sound system try to lock soundcard exclusively which is wrong feature (via alsa?). Is also wrong that dead[Z] knotify4 blocks logout/reboot/halt. A have not installed jack or other soundserver.

I had same problem - i had to disable kde sound system

Please reopen if this is happening with KDE 5.
