logs after triggering a logout

SUMMARY
I can't seem to log out of a Plasma 6 session properly. Pretty sure logout was working fine with Plasma 5. In Wayland, clicking Ok on the fullscreen log out dialog does nothing. In X11, the screen goes blank and all I can see is my mouse cursor.

I get the following messages in journalctl:

*** Bug 485129 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 2 Malte S. Stretz 2024-04-07 17:37:32 UTC
I see the same issue. Looks like a deadlock in systemd caused by drkonqi-coredump-processor.

This started after an update of KDE Neon from 6.0.2 to 6.03.

Comment 3 Synthetic451 2024-04-08 01:18:19 UTC
Yes, it seems like drkonqi is the culprit here. If I uninstall it (along with plasma-meta which depends on it), then log outs work fine every time. Reinstalling drkonqi immediately causes the issue to come back.
Comment 4 MikeC 2024-04-08 07:41:13 UTC
I can also confirm that uninstalling drkonqi and plasma-meta leads to the logout problem no longer occurring. Hopefully this will allow the underlying cause of this bug to be fixed so that installing fixed a fixed version of drkonqi will allow logout to complete without problems again.
Comment 5 Malte S. Stretz 2024-04-08 07:48:58 UTC
Instead of uninstalling drkonqi these command should be enough to work around the issue:

systemctl --user stop drkonqi-coredump-pickup.service
systemctl --user mask drkonqi-coredump-pickup.service

Don't forget to execute this once the issue is fixed:

systemctl --user unmask drkonqi-coredump-pickup.service
Comment 6 Synthetic451 2024-04-08 08:10:25 UTC
Should this bug be reassigned to drkonqi or are the relevant people already aware of this?
Comment 7 Malte S. Stretz 2024-04-08 08:25:29 UTC
I added Harald Sitter to the CC list but am not really sure if DrKonqi is really the root cause or just triggering another systemd dependency issue. Why are the other jobs stopped (eg. "Stopped target KDE Plasma Workspace.") even though something is wrong and do not really end the session and thus throw the whole session management into disorder?

Some oddities I see here:
1. This affects only one of my two Notebooks running Neon 6.0.3
2. On the affected one only one user is affected. I cans till switch the session to another user and restart the system normally.
3. It is also not reliably affecting that user, maybe 80% of the cases.
4. The first time this happens I see the logout confirmation screen (I guess that is org.kde.LogoutPrompt) but when I confirm there nothing happens (I guess that should be handled by org.kde.Shutdown).
5. Once this happened once I don't ever see that confirmation screen for this user again and the logout button just doesn't do anything.
Comment 8 Harald Sitter 2024-04-08 08:34:31 UTC
This is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484864 isnt it?
Comment 9 Malte S. Stretz 2024-04-08 08:41:26 UTC
Looks very much like that one, yes. Shall we mark this as a duplicate or is there a deeper issue in the session handling itself which should be looked into? Couldn't other units break this as well?
Comment 10 Malte S. Stretz 2024-04-08 08:47:41 UTC
I found this:

> systemd has a minimal transaction system: if a unit is requested to start up or shut down it will add it and all its dependencies to a temporary transaction. Then, it will verify if the transaction is consistent (i.e. whether the ordering of all units is cycle-free). If it is not, systemd will try to fix it up, and removes non-essential jobs from the transaction that might remove the loop. Also, systemd tries to suppress non-essential jobs in the transaction that would stop a running service. Finally it is checked whether the jobs of the transaction contradict jobs that have already been queued, and optionally the transaction is aborted then. If all worked out and the transaction is consistent and minimized in its impact it is merged with all already outstanding jobs and added to the run queue. Effectively this means that before executing a requested operation, systemd will verify that it makes sense, fixing it if possible, and only failing if it really cannot work.
Source: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.html

The root cause here seems to be that all units are transitioned to stopped except graphical-session which makes the whole session more or less a zombie. Maybe if the stopping of graphical-session could be marked as an essential job somehow the whole transaction would fail which should be a better outcome than this.
Comment 11 Malte S. Stretz 2024-04-08 08:51:19 UTC
systemctl has a --job-mode switch for this and the shutdown/halt commands set the equivalent to "replace-irreversibly" according to the man page.
Comment 12 Harald Sitter 2024-04-08 08:52:51 UTC
I suppose we should at least surface an error in the UI.
Comment 13 Malte S. Stretz 2024-04-08 09:18:20 UTC
I digged a bit and it looks like the job is already run in "fail" mode but unless I miss something then the result of the returned job object is never checked:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/v6.0.3/startkde/plasma-shutdown/shutdown.cpp?ref_type=tags#L126

There should probably some error message here, yes.

Comment 15 Synthetic451 2024-04-17 19:56:55 UTC
This seems to have been fixed with Plasma 6.0.4

I can no longer reproduce this. Closing.
