Greetings,

I maintain an ~amd64 system remotely over SSH (from downstairs), and that includes rebooting it with, say, a new kernel. Sometimes the system is running a KDE/Plasma GUI, and I want to log out gracefully from it before rebooting,
so that my session is saved. The question is: how? Everything I've found so
far stopped working with Qt6. Not even doc.qt.io helps me.

Hasn't this been tackled on this list before now? I thought it had but I can't find it if so.

Peter.

I found this in a previous thread named [gentoo-user] Scripting KDE?.

Thank you Dale. I knew it was familiar.

Don't ask why I couldn't find it for myself, because I haven't a clue.

Well, I had to dig pretty good. Even with my awful memory, I knew it
was mentioned. Using the right search terms was where it got tricky. I found it tho. Seamonkey does a pretty good job when it comes to
searching emails, assume Thunderbird works the same way.

Very welcome.

I understand there were some changes with KSMServer on Qt6, so the suggestion provided in the previous thread may or may not work. It may work with X11 (if you provide $XDISPLAY), but not with Wayland.

Quite so. That's why I was scratching around to find a better way.

In case anyone else comes looking for this, the key is 'man loginctl'.

Does loginctl save any unsaved application data and logout from a session gracefully?

Yes, as far as I can tell.
