KDE shutdown [solved]

#1 Post by Mauser »

I am using KDE and when I click Leave none of the other selections in the application menu respond. I usually get a box with options but not anymore. Shut down, Restart, or anything else.

Have a look at System Settings>Startup and Shutdown>Session Management, and see if there is a tick next to 'Offer Shutdown Options'.

Thanks. Too late. I had it with KDE. I did a force shutdown hitting the power button. When I booted up the shutdown would work but it messed up all the themeing. I am back on Xfce for good because KDE has been a headache for me. Thanks anyway.

KDE requires more time to learn how to set it up, that's for sure!

Was this with the KDE respin, or did you add it yourself?

Yes, it does. It's a real pain to set up. Poor documentation as well.

No, it's the stock KDE that comes with MX that I was setting it up the way I want through the use of the KDE settings. I wouldn't call it a respin. With the very poor documentation that KDE has it's trail and error and sometimes it goes right off a cliff.

I found it quite easy to configure. But I have a lot of experience with KDE. (had that is).

I'm still not clear what you mean. KDE doesn't officially come with MX--did you install it via the package installer, or use the unofficial KDE-added respin that I did?

In some cases it's easy to configure but in other cases it's not. I would imagine the experience you have with KDE the easier it would be. The problem is when you don't have much experience with KDE it's easy to go over a cliff with it depending on what changes you are looking to make and how far you go off the beaten path with it. The poor documentation compounds that problem. I don't find that problem with Xfce as their documentation is clear and concise.
