Hey,

Autokey seems to prevent my kubuntu from logging out / shutting down. If I press logout / sutdonw it takes about 30 seconds until i see the login screen. If I quit Autokey beforehand it logouts instantly.

kubuntu 20.04
Autokey (QT): 0.95.10

KDE Plasma: 5.18.5

QT Version: 5.12.8

Kernel: 5.4.0.58

Welcome to the list, Allistair.

I don't know if that's a bug or a feature. :)

Did this just start happening (assuming you were using AutoKey before?)

We will need to know what version of AutoKey you are using. The latest
version is 0.95.10 and should be what you have if you got it from the
20.04 repos using your package manager (apt ...)

Please repost this on our Gitter page where our developers will see it
because I don't know the answer.

I use kubuntu 18.04 and my shutdown is a bit slow, but I don't know if
having AutoKey running makes a difference - especially because it's
always running on my system.

Oops, I see you are running the current version.

Hey Joe,

thanks for your help. It's a fresh install. I ran autokey-gtk with ubuntu 20.04 before. I did not have this problem with the gtk version. Ubuntu logged out without problems.

I assume that's you (rocketlama1_twitter) posting this on Gitter. If so,
you should add this additional info to your post there.
