I had this problem once when the lookback interface wasn't up for some reason. Just in case it's your problem here, here is a quick list of things to check: * ping 127.0.0.1 * ping yourhostname * ifconfig -a | grep "UP LOOPBACK RUNNING"
If any of these fail, or don't show a result, you have a problem. Check your /etc/hosts file (is your hostname correctly setup there if it needs to?), check your /etc/network/interfaces (got a "lo" entry? is it set to "auto" and "inet loopback" ?) Also, another symptom will be that stracing "gnome-session-save --kill" will block on some network stuff with 127.0.0.1 or something similar. -- cannot restart, logout,shutdown https://launchpad.net/bugs/51227 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
