SUMMARY In the rendering dialog, there is a checkbox to tell Kdenlive to shut the computer down after all rendering has been completed, but it is grayed out. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Render any project. OBSERVED RESULT Checkbox is grayed out. EXPECTED RESULT Checkbox can be checked. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 24.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.13 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-47-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: offscreen Processors: 8 × Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1245 v5 @ 3.50GHz Memory: 31.2 Gio of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650/PCIe/SSE2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is with the 24.11.70 appimage. This happened in 24.08 too. I never used older versions so cannot compare. Other bugs have been opened wrt the problem, but for different versions and different OSes, so I figured it would be cleaner to deal with the specifics of KUbuntu here. Maybe this is an apparmor thing ?
Created attachment 175836 [details] Script to shutdown after rendering As a workaround, here is a bash script that can be run to shutdown (or suspend, etc.) the computer after a given file has been rendered. This is based on the fact that the rendering engine will open the file for writing and close it exactly once. To test, use eg. whoami for action.
