Package: cinnamon-session
Version: 6.4.10
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
When I click the "Shutdown" button from the Cinnamon menu, the system does
nothing on the first login after boot. If I log out and then log back in again,
the shutdown button works normally.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot and log into Cinnamon
2. Open the menu → click "Shutdown"
3. Observe: login screenreappears
4. log back in
5. Click "Shutdown"
6. Observe: system powers off correctly
Expected result:
The system should shut down immediately when the button is clicked.
Actual result:
Nothing happens on the first login. Only after logging out and in again does
shutdown work.
Additional info:
Debian version:
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Kernel version:
6.12.41+deb13-amd64
Cinnamon version:
Cinnamon 6.4.10
cinnamon-session package:
ii cinnamon-session 6.4.0-1
amd64 Cinnamon Session Manager - Minimal runtime
ii cinnamon-session-common 6.4.0-1
all Cinnamon Session Manager - common files
Shutdown via `systemctl poweroff` and 'shutdown now" both work fine.

Hi,
(fixing the version metadata first: 6.4.10 is the Cinnamon desktop
version, not a cinnamon-session package version; the affected package
version in trixie is 6.4.0-1.)
this is the same issue as #1111993: with systemd >= 257, inhibitors
held by session applications (for example applications with unsaved
work, media players, or autostarted programs) caused the shutdown or
restart request to logind to be blocked, so the session simply ended
and returned to the login screen instead of powering off. This matches
your symptom: on the first login some autostarted application still
holds an inhibitor, while after logging back in it does not.
It was fixed upstream in cinnamon-session 6.4.1, by clearing the
session inhibitors before requesting shutdown/reboot via systemd:
https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-session/commit/3b70cb7
(upstream issue: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-session/issues/186)
The fix is included in Debian since cinnamon-session 6.4.1-1; current
unstable has 6.6.4-1. Trixie still ships 6.4.0-1, so the issue remains
present there; as a workaround, closing the applications holding
inhibitors before shutting down (or using systemctl poweroff) works.
Best regards,
Fabio
