Where 'here' is ... where? :-) Your own /etc/sddm/ configuration file, or the default installed under /usr/ share/sddm/sddm.conf.d/ ? The sddm package no longer installs a config file in etc. The user may do so if desired/required and modify it accordingly. However, the sample file offered by sddm has the above mentioned incongruity in it, which means the shutdown and reboot commands issued by its interface invariably do not work in openrc and it seems the same applies to systemd. I'll check a couple more of my installations here to see if they differ. -- Regards, Mick
