To the left of “Session” in the bottom right of Application Launcher, there’s normally options for shutting down my computer and such, but lately it’s been intermittently absent. Sometimes it’s there, sometimes not. Editing the settings for Application Launcher just expands the Session dropdown. Switching between alternatives has them also missing the power options, only showing session options. I’ve been using systemctl poweroff as a workaround.
Right click →Configure Application Launcher. (Or press the configure button) There should be an option to select what actions to choose. What do you have selected?
Missing Shutdown AND Reboot is a issue that cropped up I want to say roughly 1 week ago. I after I installed AppGrid I noticed it and thought it was just a bug with that, but then I happened to notice that they are missing in the Shutdown or Switch widget even they they are checked in it’s settings. This leads me to believe this is a KDE issue.
I’m not sure of that, the issue we have all seen is days apart at most and the OP is on plasma 6.6.3, I’m on 6.6.80 so I think I would have been a ways ahead of the stable release. The other thing is there aren’t enough complaints so I think this is more likely HW specific.
Settings are the same as in xuars’ screenshot and the problem persists if I change the “Show buttons for” options. I also have the same options as robgriff444 when expanding the Session button.
The buttons came back, then vanished again between reboots. I’m attempting the fix from the CachyOS forum of disabling automount in System Settings, using fstab instead, to see if it stabilizes. As of now, the buttons are back.
It’s weird that this is apparently a common EndeavourOS issue, but I’ve not seen any solid guesses on the cause on their forums either.
More than likely lots more are having the issue and just not reporting it. Personally regardless of claims otherwise I seriously doubt the issue really has anything to do with how something was setup to automount.
