Package: lightdm Version: 1.26.0-4 Severity: minor I have the following issue with a machine using sysvinit (I don't think that sysvinit is the culprit, just that it makes the problem visible). This has occurred for several months now (perhaps after the upgrade from 1.18.3 to 1.26, but I'm not sure).
When I click on "Restart", I get a dialog box to confirm, which I do, but then nothing seems to occur. I had the habit to do the same thing again, which had the effect to effectively restart immediately. So, I thought that the first Restart was not taken into account. But what actually occurs is that the shutdown starts, and I can see the end of the shutdown once lightdm is killed as a consequence of the shutdown. So the fact that nothing seems to occur is bad information given to the user. I suspect that this issue does not occur with systemd because the shutdown with systemd is much faster as parallelized (though I'm wondering what would occur is specific shutdown dependencies would temporarily block it before lightdm is killed). Shouldn't lightdm quit when the shutdown is started? This would probably solve this issue and allow the user to see the first shutdown messages. Or would there be drawbacks? Alternatively, lightdm (or the greeter?) could display a message saying that a shutdown was initiated, but if something blocks the shutdown, the user would not be able to see that. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lightdm depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii consolekit 0.4.6-6 ii dbus 1.12.12-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.71 ii libaudit1 1:2.8.4-3 ii libc6 2.28-9 ii libgcrypt20 1.8.4-5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.3-1 ii libpam0g 1.3.1-5 ii libxcb1 1.13.1-2 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.2-3 ii lightdm-gtk-greeter [lightdm-greeter] 2.0.6-1 ii lsb-base 10.2019031300 Versions of packages lightdm recommends: ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+19 Versions of packages lightdm suggests: pn accountsservice <none> ii upower 0.99.10-1 ii xserver-xephyr 2:1.20.4-1 -- Configuration Files: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf changed: [LightDM] [Seat:*] greeter-hide-users=false [XDMCPServer] [VNCServer] -- debconf information: * shared/default-x-display-manager: lightdm lightdm/daemon_name: /usr/sbin/lightdm
