Bug ID: 480280
Summary: Remote Desktop logout functionality.
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Session Management
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: sebastian.m...@treuchtlingen.de
Target Milestone: 1.0
Currently, all the Menus that allow one to leave KDE (logout, lock screen,
poweroff, …) always assume a local session, even when running as a remote
session under x2go, xrdp, etc.
However, when running remote the actions available don't fit the use case and
should be in most cases limited to logging out and suspending the session.
(Most are useless when regular users don't even have the permissions for things
like power controls)
The lock screen could be argued over, I'm in favor of suspending the session
and completely closing the connection in order to lock it.
The Mate Desktop solved this problem by using librda to detect how the desktop
was started, which actions are available and calling the appropriate handlers.
librda: https://github.com/ArcticaProject/librda
Corresponding blog post: https://sunweavers.net/blog/node/82
Context: Librda detects remote sessions based on Environment variables and the
logout/suspend functions call the appropriate commands.
This is a resubmitted version of Bug 479403 addressing its root cause.
