Bug ID: 364897 Summary: Can't logout/reboot/shutdown after Qt upgrad Product: plasmashell Version: master Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk Reporter: sit...@kde.org CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org This has happened numerous times in the past, most recently I noticed it with 5.5->5.6 and now 5.6->5.7. Whenver Qt sees a major upgrade the overlay dialogs for logout and friends does not actually load. The blur&shade effects are applied but then the dialog never gets loaded. I forgot to take a look at the logs but I am guessing this is because the qml files fail to load due to incompatible qtquick c++ plugins that would be dragged in. This essentially makes it impossible for a user to get out of the session. To prevent this the logout/reboot/shutdown/... components should be lazy loaded after startup and then held in-memory so we can always display the dialogs to actually end the currently running session.
