It was so obvious... I did the following:
1) Select the respective profile according to the currently used desktop (kde) and init system (openrc): "eselect profile set 6" 2) Update world packages: "emerge -auDN world" 3) Follow the steps here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE/Troubleshooting#Missing_shutdown.2Freboot.2Fsuspend.2Fhibernate_buttons_.28with_consolekit.29 4) Reboot Thank you very much for the help! -Ramon On 10/14/2017 03:27 AM, Michael Palimaka wrote: On 10/14/2017 09:25 AM, Daniel Frey wrote: On 10/13/2017 03:10 PM, Ramon Fischer wrote: Hello everyone, I successfully installed Gentoo with Plasma5 for the first time on first try (yay!) and now I am going to fix stuff and ran into an issue with missing buttons in the kde menu as mentioned in the subject. I followed all these instructions: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE One guess is that it could be OpenRC because I actually selected the systemd profile for kde. I am done with my debug-fu at this point. :) In the attachment you will find a lot of information. Customized parts are marked with "# custom". Thanks! -Ramon Are you using openrc? It is possible it's looking for systemd to provide the shutdown and reboot options. If you're not using systemd, switch to the non-systemd plasma profile and issue `emerge -auDN world`. Dan If openrc is being used, check out this article: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE/Troubleshooting#Missing_shutdown.2Freboot.2Fsuspend.2Fhibernate_buttons_.28with_consolekit.29 Another option (that works well for me) is to use elogind.
