Bug ID: 458809
Summary: Support kexec reboot from GUI
Product: ksmserver
Version: 5.25.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: tomash...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
I would like to be able to reboot from GUI using kexec.
kexec is a method to skip BIOS/UEFI during reboot, which can seriously speed up
reboot (on my system, it about halves it, BIOS takes about 9 seconds and
userspace as much).
It works on systems using systemd-boot pretty much for free.
Hibernate is already an action that fails on a lot of systems (it needs a swap
file/partition larger than RAM) and yet is exposed.
Codewise, I think it would need to be implemented from
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/libkworkspace/sessionmanagementbackend.cpp
all the way up to
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/applets/kicker/plugin/systementry.cpp
or
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/applets/kicker/plugin/systementry.cpp
(plus a new icon would be handy)
Is such a feature something that would be accepted?
