Cinnamon for RedCore 2401 Tarazed

Salutations,

Although i've got the KDE Plasma version installed and ready i was excited after reading about its Cinnamon alternative:

[ https://forum.redcorelinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=2 ]
Steps for installing Cinnamon on Redcore Linux Hardened 2102 (2021-Dec-5)

But yet observed its functionality was limited, being unable to Power Off until i tried this CLI exit scenario:

su
poweroff

So i thought i'd mention it because i suspect KDE might imply more workload in comparison when run on a modest Dull NoteBook...

Good day, have fun!!

If you are using OpenRC instead of systemd , you should use "loginctl poweroff" to poweroff.   
May be Cinnamon is ignoring openrc ??? and it would use systemd.???

I suspect there's a conflict between polkit agents if you kept KDE Plasma after installing Cinnamon. You can try to disable polkit-kde-agent from within Cinnamon, so that only polkit-gnome runs. Or you can just get rid of KDE Plasma.

emerge --deselect kdecore-meta
emerge --deselect plasma-meta
sisyphus autoremove

This should leave the system with only Cinnamon and maybe things will just solve themselves.
