1.2 Logging Out

When you are finished using the computer, you can log out and leave the system running
or restart or shut down the computer. If your system provides power management, you
can also suspend the computer, making the next system start much faster than a complete
boot.
To log out and leave the system running, do one of the following:
• From the main menu, select Log Out > End Current Session.
• Use the keyboard shortcut that is defined in the KDE control center. Usually, to
log out with confirmation, this is Ctrl + Alt + Del . In the following dialog you still
have the choice to cancel the logout process. If you want to log out without any
confirmation, press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Del .
• Click the Logout icon in the panel. If your panel does not include the logout icon,
you can add it to the panel as described in
(page 6).
