Comment 4 Lenzoid 2025-06-01 05:18:01 UTC

Can confirm, Beta 6.4 (2) is also affected. It is a problem because a regular user will not be able to shut down his PC anymore.

Easier Steps:
- Settings > Session > Desktop session
- To "When session was manually saved"
- Kickoff menu > Session > Save session
- Log out or shut down. Nothing happens.

Additional info:

This command should start the logoff prompt but it's not working in this case.
$ qdbus org.kde.LogoutPrompt /LogoutPrompt  promptReboot

This command still successfully logs you out of the session:
$ qdbus org.kde.Shutdown /Shutdown org.kde.Shutdown.logout

The workaround at comment #1 is fairly user-friendly, please see the screenshot.

I believe Lenzoid wasn't trying different workarounds, but doing some troubleshooting to help narrow down the root cause, so the bug can be fixed.

Comment 7 Graham Perrin 2025-06-15 13:44:27 UTC

This appears to be a duplicate of June 2022 bug 488998, with a different product and component. 

Apologies for the noise, I don't know how I missed 488998.
