Description claire robinson 2012-09-04 11:04:25 CEST

Pre Mga3 alpha1 DVD i586 with default Gnome installation (3rd set)

After testing Gnome for the afternoon I tried to reboot. It started in proper full Gnome, used alt and chose Poweroff, selected reboot.

Instead of rebooting it took me to a Gnomeclassic GDM which said my user was still logged in. I chose to reboot from the gnomeclassic GDM but it appeared to do nothing. I logged back in to my apparently already logged in user and it started a gnomeclassic desktop.

Trying to log out of the gnomeclassic desktop just took me back to the gnomeclassic gdm.

In the end I rebooted from a root tty2.

Dave Hodgins has confirmed this and suggested it had been discussed on the -dev ML. I can find comment there about users still appearing logged I didn't see eny mention of it preventing shutdown/reboot.

I couldn't find any existing bug for this.

Source RPM: GDM ? => GDM ? systemd ?

Comment 1 claire robinson 2012-09-04 11:07:15 CEST

I added systemd as it was thought to be systemd/gdm related when discussed on -dev ML

Attached syslog which shows alot of debug information, hopefully it will be useful.

I'm not 100% sure about the cause here, but one issue that I fixed last night was one of the gdm session not dying off properly, thus always having two sessions logged in. I've fixed this in latest systemd+pulseaudio which should resolve that issue, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some issues still remaining from this.

If this happens again with the next round of isos, can you run:

loginctl
loginctl session-status N
loginctl show-session N

(where N is the session number shown in the first command)

You can do this from e.g. tty2 before issuing the reboot.

NB On my system I'm prompted to enter a password to allow reboot when more than one user is logged in, but this is perhaps because I'm in the wheel group and it might not ask a pure user account.

This seems resolved, thanks Colin. I'll close it.
