Description anton 2009-09-28 14:24:21 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

When I suspend to disk my laptop and then power on it again I receive unlock session screen with password prompt and switch user option.

This brings the following issue - if some person would switch on my laptop without me, there would not be a good way to turn if off correctly - only bad options:
- turn off computer holding hardware power key and remove the battery
- leave computer working until its battery would die
- call me to my phone and ask my password to unlock the session (I don't want to tell my password to any person).

Being able to suspend to disk or even correctly power off or logout (one would still be able to push hardware poweroff button anyways) from lock screen would allow to finish locked session correctly without unlocking it and receiving undesired access to my desktop.

I second this, very good idea.
Comment 2 Mathieu Jobin 2014-05-13 12:00:20 UTC
closing the lid of your laptop should make it sleep
and linux should properly suspend to disk whenever battery is critically low
I'm not sure it's KDE responsibility here.

screenlock could have the sleep/suspend option, but not the power off IMHO

krunner is probably not the right product to fill this bug under.

5 years later, no volunteer?

Seems to be fixed with Plasma 5.
