[Bug Report] Logout Problem with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installed over snap-store

[traumturbulenzen]

The solution listed below is not a long-term solution either. The error can be fixed by installing WALC as an AppImage.

---

We cannot log out and log in again (multi user session) if the „close to system tray“ option is enabled and run WALC as an Startup Application. The snap continues to run in the background. I have tried it with several window managers (lightdm / gdm3 / sddm). It took me a very long time to find a solution. I have examined the snap with snap info and so on. No solution. Then I tried it with CLI commands

killall 
pkill 
kill $PID

after my gnome-session. Without success.

Finally the solution was to install xdotools and add the line

walc && xdotools ctrl+q

to the file /etc/gdm3/PostSession/Default.

It would still be nice if the problem is solved at some point. Maybe with an snap command for a simple quit.

Otherwise: great and cool app. Keep up the good work.
