According to [1], I should be putting/symlinking my .sh scripts to ~/.config/plasma-workspace/shutdown Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. put unmount_cifs.sh to ~/.config/plasma-workspace/shutdown 2. double check permissions 3. shutdown/restart PC Actual Results: Shutdown hangs on "unmounting <cifs share>...", not logger message (part of the script) in journal Expected Results: Script being executed, cifs shares unmounted and a logger message added to journal This used to work on KDE4 by adding the scripts from systemsettings. I'd very much like to see this added back/fixed for Plasma. Bug #338242 seems to be related. I'm on arch linux x64 using the kde-unstable/testing repositories.
