SUMMARY On discover since plasma 6.2.0, in the Updates menu, after applying 'Update all' you now have the option to apply updates and shutdown. This option is only shown while the updates are being 'prepared', and it's not possible after that. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Discover, and go to the Updates section 2. Press on 'Update All' (you will need to have an update for it to appear) 3. Wait for the updates to finish preparation. OBSERVED RESULT The screen says: "Restart the system to complete the update process" and a single button is shown "Restart to Install Updates Now". https://imgur.com/a/cKhoJl6 EXPECTED RESULT The screen says something like: "Restart or shutdown the system to complete the update process" and two buttons are shown like: "Restart to Install Updates Now" and "Install Updates and Shutdown Now" (exact strings may need to be changed) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 6.2 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0 Qt Version: 6.8.0 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-49-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega Graphics Memory: 13.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Vega 11 Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION While the updates are being prepared (between steps 2 and 3 above), you have an option at the bottom to shutdown on completion. This option was introduced in plasma 6.2.0. (I'm unable to create a screenshot, but here is one from the internet) https://pointieststick.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/shutdown-after-update-in-discover.png After the preparation is complete, the screen changes to the one above, and the option to update and shutdown disappears.
Hi - just so you know, after Discover prepares updates, you are still able to install updates and shut down by going to go Shut Down normally (ex. from the Kickoff application launcher menu) - you'll then see the option presented on this page: https://pointieststick.com/2024/08/23/this-week-in-kde-per-monitor-brightness-control-and-update-then-shut-down/ in this picture: https://pointieststick.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/shutdown-after-update-on-the-logout-screen.png?w=1024 I do think it's a fair wishlist item to have Discover prompt you about the possibility of that action on its own screen, though.
Thanks for the confirmation. You are right, the shutdown confirmation screen does in fact allow you to trigger the 'update and shutdown' feature...but only if you have the 'ask for confirmation setting'! (Under System settings > Session > Desktop session) https://imgur.com/a/1dMqI5u. I think that's enabled by default, but if you disable it, then the only way to trigger the shutdown is from the start menu, where that option is not present (at least in the 'Application Launcher' widget). Or is there a way to trigger the confirmation shutdown dialog somehow?

Hmm, you *should* be able to workaround that using either a Lock/Logout widget or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, both of which should present the confirmation-style screen with all of the available options?

Oh, that indeed works. The widget is strange because it contains the same two lock/logout buttons as the application launcher, but the widget logout button does show the confirmation screen (the one on the application launcher does not). The control+alt+del shortcut also works, I don't know how I missed that one. I'll be using that from now on (until discover provides it directly). Thank you!
