<p>You may want to consider the shutdown command, it can be
configured with much more than the legacy reboot and poweroff
commands:</p>

<p>OK guys,</p>
<p>I lucked out and stumbled on the fix for my artifact. Turns
out the message on the screen can be removed with the same key
combinations as used to remove widgets *from the panel*, i.e.
'Alt-D, R'. I think. Now I can't find where I saw that out
of context. Anyway, having done that fixes the problem
installing one-click launchers to the panels too.</p>
<p>I can go to bed happy tonight because *everything* I've set
up is now working correctly. Definitely KDE Plasma and
definitely not Kubuntu.</p>
<p>But I still need to figure out how to get terminal
shutdown/reboot/halt installed. Back to all that excellent
documentation in the wikis and the desktop. Must be in there
somewhere.</p>

NMGLUG, <br>
<br>
I've got a two-day old install of Debian 10 with KDE Plasma
desktop on a brand-new 1TB SSD in a two or three year old 15"
HP-Notebook with an AMD CPU. This installed via Calamares
running from a live, non-free firmware iso, checksum and
signature file verified. <br>
<br>
Mostly so far everything seems robust and beautiful, but
there's been considerable pathology with setting up the panels
the way I like. <br>
<br>
Right-clicking on an application in either of the main
application menus (I have a cascading menu in the upper panel,
and the default menu in the lower panel) *should* show and
permit the option of installing a one-click launch icon on the
associated panel--but sometimes it does, and other times it
doesn't. <br>
<br>
Also, I had a dictionary widget in the upper panel that was
apparently missing one of the supporting files for some
reason. In association with a desktop crash, hard powerdown*
and/or my eventual removal of the widget, the error message
somehow became permanent. See attached screenshot. <br>
<br>
Any suggestions for how I might best attempt to repair this? <br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>
<br>
Tom <br>
<br>
*'ctrl-alt-esc' will kill Plasma (but leave application
windows running, presumably because they run in different
threads) but I don't yet know how to restart Plasma from the
terminal, and for some reason there is no 'shutdown', 'reboot'
or 'halt' command installed. <br>
