The old kdm always worked for me but KDE5 and the plasma thing is a whole new can of worms code wise from what I read. I guess a fresh start was easier than trying to recode all that mess.=20 I haven't tried rebooting/shutdown yet so I guess I'll find out one time or another if I have the same problem. Generally tho, I only shutdown/reboot when I have a power failure here. So far, I'm at 118 days. When I do that, I usually do it within KDE since I already know I have to shutdown and I'm almost always logged in.=20 I'm just glad this is a little smoother than the KDE3 to KDE4 mess. :-) = Dale :-) :-)=20
