Command to shutdown the screen is not working

[lcswillems]

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for posting your config!

However, this bindsym doesn't work for me:

bindsym $mod+Shift+e exec --no-startup-id qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout -1 -1 -1

If I execute this command in the terminal:

qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout -1 -1 -1

I get this error:

Cannot find 'org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout' in object /KSMServer at org.kde.ksmserver

I tried under Kubuntu 19.04 with i3 4.16.1 and Kubuntu 20.04 with 4.17.1.

Did you find a workaround?

I have found a discussion where it seems to be the case that on KDE 5, the command has apparently changed a little bit.

If you get it to work, feel free to create a pull request!

Thanks for the link but this doesn't help... I hope somebody will find the solution.

after some reading I got it to work by changing qdbus to qdbus-qt5

@rafaelkallis I tried that but it's not working

According to StackOverflow, this is the new interface:

qdbus org.kde.Shutdown /Shutdown logout
qdbus org.kde.Shutdown /Shutdown logoutAndReboot
qdbus org.kde.Shutdown /Shutdown logoutAndShutdown

But this will apply the action immediately. It is not clear how to display the confirmation menu

For anyone trying this in KDE 6, I have figured out a fix. You can find the discussion here: #54 (comment).
