Checkbox can be checked.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This is with the 24.11.70 appimage.

This happened in 24.08 too. I never used older versions so cannot compare.

Other bugs have been opened wrt the problem, but for different versions and different OSes, so I figured it would be cleaner to deal with the specifics of KUbuntu here.

Maybe this is an apparmor thing ?

Script to shutdown after rendering

As a workaround, here is a bash script that can be run to shutdown (or suspend, etc.) the computer after a given file has been rendered. This is based on the fact that the rendering engine will open the file for writing and close it exactly once.

To test, use eg. whoami for action.
