Hi Cameron:
Pablo and I were working with the 5.0 release on an 8GB USB stick,
with a persistent partition defined when we created the LiveUSB. In
this case, sometimes when shutting down we got that error. It seems
to be caused by some delay in file system syncing, or some such
issue. That led to corrupt directories on the next reboot.
It doesn't happen on the LiveDVD (obviously-syncing open files is
irelevant)
If this also appears, as Pablo suggests, on an *installed* system,
then we do indeed have a problem.
I just got the 5.5 beta. I'll try to run the same procedure that we
were using previously, and see what happens.
Thanks,
Micha

Pablo,
Thanks for your feedback and investigation. You seem to have
uncovered a bug we haven't heard of before.
The fixes you point to refer to providing a manual fix which a
user can apply. Do you know if this fix can be applied during our
build process?
Would you mind writing a bug report for us, copying the
information you have provided below, and email us the URL of the
bug once finished. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Issue_Tracker
In particular, please describe the steps you have followed to
create the bug, so someone else can reproduce it, or verify that
it has been fixed. Are you running from the DVD, or an ISO, or
installing into VM, or did you install to to a computer?
(This bug might be fixed by one of the periodic security/bug fix
updates provided by Ubuntu/Xubuntu).

Do you mind if I CC my response to the osgeo-live email
list?
It sounds like you are describing a known bug, which I
think that Hamish had identified, and created a work
around for.

Dear Cameron Shorter,
I
have installed the OSGeo-Live 5.0, at least for
the third time. It functions well for some time,
but when I shut down the system it gives an
error message... that says something like 'can't
shut down because the root is idle'. Anyway,
after 20 seconds, it shut down. But when the
system is turned-on again it is desconfigured.
For example, I can't manage the workspaces
anymore, when I open a software it's impossible
to manage windows size (and the window size is
very small) and many other things.
I tried
to found some information in the net, without
any luck. Did hear about this bug ? There are
any solution ?
Thanks
in advance,
Best
regards,
pablo
