Title:
please stop greeter gracefully when stopping a display server
Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Dear maintainer,
When lightdm is stopped or restarted, unity-greeter does not get a
chance to run its cleanup code, but simply aborts due to the X server
going away. Most of the greeter session components die the same way,
but the session upstart does not. It keeps running and attempting to
respawn services, which results in these few processes and the logind
session staying around.
I'm not sure whether this bug belongs properly to lightdm or unity-
greeter. It's possible the greeter should react more gracefully when
the X server vanishes. I'm filing this against lightdm right now
because I feel like all the necessary code for this already exists, it
just needs to be called in the right order at the right time. Maybe it
just needs to wait for the sessions attached to a particular display
server to finish before stopping that server.
Thanks.
