I recently bought an AtomicPi that came with Lubuntu installed. It uses
LXQt as the default desktop. I have used it once before, a long time ago.
I do have a question about the box that comes up on the screen when you
click on the power button icon. The Restart and Shutdown options seem to
work fine, but the Logoff button appears to do nothing but restart the
desktop.

I would expect it to log me off and return to the logon manager.

Has anyone run into this issue before with a Lubuntu or LXQt installation?
If so, how did you fix it?

Thanks!

Not familiar with Lubuntu or LXQt, but it sounds like your user is
setup to "auto-login". So perhaps it is returning you to the
logon manager, but then immediately auto-logging you back in.

Suggest seeing if there is a setting somewhere to *NOT* auto-login
a particular user.

Thanks, I will check that. Seems like with the first one I set up it
defaulted to that behavior on even a new user I added. I wanted to put a different distro on it anyway but I want to try to use this one more as intended.

For lxde, the lxsession-logout package handles the logouts. It, and the as- delivered installation of lightdm, apparently did not get along. I installed lxdm and configured it as the default. Now the logout command works.

Thanks!

Nice work there. Display managers can be tricky buggers.

Thanks!

No prob, every now and then I get lucky! ;-)

Yes, I have seen this happen on several different distros.
Usually the installation process will ask if you want the
"default" user to auto-login, but sometimes they don't (ask).
Seems to be quite common on the more "user-friendly" distros...
:-)

Well, I thought it was worth a shot since I did not think I could make
things any worse. :)

Hehe, probably right, in that case at least. Might not be true
for when you're fiddling with BIOS/MBR/bootloader/UEFI crap
though. It usually *CAN* and *DOES* get worse... ;-)
