I just looked at another installation. The default sddm configuration
file (/usr/share/sddm/sddm.conf.d/00default.conf) shows this:
[General]
# Halt command
HaltCommand=/usr/bin/loginctl poweroff
In an OpenRC system there is no loginctl. Consequently, unless we define
a
separate config in /etc/ to use shutdown (with sudo?) it won't work. This
systemd-ism may be worth a bug report.
Here, it shows 'HaltCommand=/sbin/shutdown -h -P now'.
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.
I don't have any /etc/sddm.conf - it's all default config and mine is
working with no tweaking (OpenRC). Same as mentioned above in the
default config file: HaltCommand=/sbin/shutdown -h -P now
