The only Problem all have common is that all lose the ability to reboot/shutdown over the Desktop.

This may be of interest to you ? Creating a a replacement loginctl.
https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,3050.msg23032.html#msg23032
I've never tried it but something like this could work if replicated in a binary and set SUID.
Scripts can't be set SUID AFAIK. At least sh / bash can't.

Yeah, already read that. But like already said in this Thread:

Sadly, i dont quite understand this and how to implement this for openrc: https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,3050.msg23032.html#msg23032

The equivalent in openrc I think.
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh

show_usage()
{
cat <<EOT
Usage: ${0##*/} [halt|reboot|poweroff]
EOT
}

case $1 in
halt) openrc-shutdown -H 0;;
reboot) openrc-shutdown -r 0;;
poweroff) openrc-shutdown -p 0;;
*) show_usage
esac

;;
*) show_usage
esac
But it would not work from a GUI as it needs root privileges. Hence needing to convert to a compiled binary that can be set SUID.
And that's assuming loginctl is called by your desktop of choice. But if strajder believes so I expect it usually is ?
Also the result would be that any user can poweroff the machine but on a single user PC that's not a biggie imho

I can't program really but you can find small C tutorials and convert them to serve a tiny purpose such as this.

For example suspend and hibernate do not work for me from the KDE GUI. System comes back up but screen never does.
However writing directly to the kernel does work
Code: [Select]
sudo echo mem > /sys/power/state
But I wanted a hotkey combo to do it so modified a C tutorial to do the above (bar the sudo)
Code: [Select]
   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <stdlib.h>
   #include <sys/types.h>
   #include <unistd.h>

int main() {
    #define word "mem"

    // creating file pointer to work with files
    FILE *fptr;
setuid(0);
    // opening file in writing mode
    fptr = fopen("/sys/power/state", "w");

    // exiting program
    if (fptr == NULL) {
        printf("Error!");
        exit(1);
    }
    fprintf(fptr, "%s", word);
    fclose(fptr);
    return 0;
}
Compiled, moved to /usr/local/bin , set SUID, added the key combo shift-ctrl-alt-s to point at my binary and VoilĂ 

Different issue but some concepts to resolve yours are similar.
Just food for thought

Ah ok. Did you tried this? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_graphics#Kernel_crashing_w/kernels_4.0+_on_Broadwell/Core-M_chips

sure i could make keyboard shortcuts wich start "sudo poweroff" for example. Or simple Desktopicons wich does this. But that only a workaround :-)

Now i simply shutdown/restart with konsole and sudo poweroff/sudo reboot. But would be nice if i could use KDE native for that. And it should be possible how i already found out. But i only found solution for dinit, initd and 66. But sadly not with openrc.

And im to stupid to implement the found solutions to openrc :-)
pluto:
I tried everything I could find, and then some more. Nothing worked so far. The problem seems to be forced preemption, which cannot be safely disabled (DRM_I915_PREEMPT_TIMEOUT=0 does not work, and if you unset the various timeouts, kconfig asks for them; they cannot be unset).
Here is the outcome of "git show 3a7a92aba8fb77162e1e9963360fd81fc15c39a5" in linux-mainline, which seems to be the relevant commit:

commit 3a7a92aba8fb77162e1e9963360fd81fc15c39a5
Author: Chris Wilson <[email protected]>

    drm/i915/execlists: Force preemption
   
    If the preempted context takes too long to relinquish control, e.g. it
    is stuck inside a shader with arbitration disabled, evict that context
    with an engine reset. This ensures that preemptions are reasonably
    responsive, providing a tighter QoS for the more important context at
    the cost of flagging unresponsive contexts more frequently (i.e. instead
    of using an ~10s hangcheck, we now evict at ~100ms).  The challenge of
    lies in picking a timeout that can be reasonably serviced by HW for
    typical workloads, balancing the existing clients against the needs for
    responsiveness.
   
    Note that coupled with timeslicing, this will lead to rapid GPU "hang"
    detection with multiple active contexts vying for GPU time.
   
    The forced preemption mechanism can be compiled out with
   
            ./scripts/config --set-val DRM_I915_PREEMPT_TIMEOUT 0

October 2019 is about right; that's when the trouble started.
I tried adding
Code: [Select]
./scripts/config --set-val DRM_I915_PREEMPT_TIMEOUT 0
to my linux-mainline PKGBUILD (before make oldconfig), but all it does is set CONFIG_DRM_I915_PREEMPT_TIMEOUT to 0, which I already tried.
I am currently testing "i915.enable_dc=0 processor.max_cstate=1 intel_idle.max_cstate=0" added to my kernel commandline, and disabling timeslicing (CONFIG_DRM_I915_TIMESLICE_DURATION=0). If that doesn't work, I'm out of options, unless the kernel guys come to their senses and provide a way to disable forced preemption safely on hardware that doesn't support it.
Timeslicing can also be disabled at runtime (as root; the actual names of the engines may differ):
Code: [Select]
# echo 0 > /sys/class/drm/card0/engine/bcs0/timeslice_duration_ms
# echo 0 > /sys/class/drm/card0/engine/rcs0/timeslice_duration_ms
# echo 0 > /sys/class/drm/card0/engine/vcs0/timeslice_duration_ms
# echo 0 > /sys/class/drm/card0/engine/vecs0/timeslice_duration_ms
Similarly for preempt_timeout_ms.

The equivalent in openrc I think.
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh

show_usage()
{
cat <<EOT
Usage: ${0##*/} [halt|reboot|poweroff]
EOT
}

case $1 in
halt) openrc-shutdown -H 0;;
reboot) openrc-shutdown -r 0;;
poweroff) openrc-shutdown -p 0;;
*) show_usage
esac

;;
*) show_usage
esac
But it would not work from a GUI as it needs root privileges. Hence needing to convert to a compiled binary that can be set SUID.
And that's assuming loginctl is called by your desktop of choice. But if strajder believes so I expect it usually is ?
Also the result would be that any user can poweroff the machine but on a single user PC that's not a biggie imho

I can't program really but you can find small C tutorials and convert them to serve a tiny purpose such as this.

For example suspend and hibernate do not work for me from the KDE GUI. System comes back up but screen never does.
However writing directly to the kernel does work
Code: [Select]
sudo echo mem > /sys/power/state
But I wanted a hotkey combo to do it so modified a C tutorial to do the above (bar the sudo)
Code: [Select]
   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <stdlib.h>
   #include <sys/types.h>
   #include <unistd.h>

int main() {
    #define word "mem"

    // creating file pointer to work with files
    FILE *fptr;
setuid(0);
    // opening file in writing mode
    fptr = fopen("/sys/power/state", "w");

    // exiting program
    if (fptr == NULL) {
        printf("Error!");
        exit(1);
    }
    fprintf(fptr, "%s", word);
    fclose(fptr);
    return 0;
}
Compiled, moved to /usr/local/bin , set SUID, added the key combo shift-ctrl-alt-s to point at my binary and VoilĂ 

Different issue but some concepts to resolve yours are similar.
Just food for thought
