Hey, I had a similar problem with the logout/shutdown/reboot buttons. In my case I found that `kmserver` was hogging the CPU, so when I killed it it would do the action I told it to (sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't) .
Check if something hogs your resources with htop or ksysguard when you do the logout/shutdown/reboot. At least this is what happened to me, I don't know if it's the same situation. - David On 03/19/2015 06:46 PM, Brad Alexander wrote: > Hey, > > Got kind of a strange one here...Strange enough that I have no idea > where to begin looking. > > I have a sid laptop running the latest kde from the sid repos, what > looks like 4.14.2.
