There is a stupid behaviour of KDE. The default battery mode setting of changing into standby mode when the notebook lid gets closed is mostly useful and energy-saving, but NOT while the notebook is shutting down. On the next startup KDE will continue the shutdown process rather than booting up. Ettore Atalan Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure the change into standby mode when the notebook lid gets closed is activated 2. Do a shutdown 3. Close the notebook lid quickly Actual Results: KDE breaks shutdown and changes into standby mode. Then on the next startup it will continue the shutdown process, which is kind of stupid. Expected Results: A normal shutdown.
