Bug ID: 417889 Summary: Exiting user session leaves user processes running Product: ksmserver Version: 5.18.1 Platform: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk Reporter: colabor...@pseudoname.io CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- If I start a session with one user, do some activity and then close the session, and then I start a new session with a different user, I can see, in htop, several instances of the process "agent" that belong to the former user, and which path is /usr/libexec/geoclue-2.0/demos/. By the name I guess it has to do with geolocation, which I have not activated for that user (not sure if for any), so I guess it must come active by default. I don't think that's a nice privacy policy even in Linux and KDE dont have backdoors. Ok, let's center and not divagate too much... The point is that I believe that one user's processes should be shut down, or killed if they refuse to terminate gracefully, once the user logs out. There have been similar reports even since 10 years ago, but I'm not sure if those are exactly like this one. In one, it seemed related to encryption or Akonadi; in the other, affected the login process; this one I report doesnt seem to produce any malfunction in anything (the processes just "sit" there wasting resources). but if you consider this is a duplicate, feel free to mark it as such, but then please reopen the one that says it's resolved/fixed.
