This is fixed in upstream git master, but the changes are quite intrusive. Incidentally I came across this a while ago in an OEM project, and I created a very small and straightforward patch which ports from hal to ConsoleKit/Upower. It has worked well for several weeks, so I think this would make a fine SRU.
** Patch added: "patch" https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/+bug/496423/+attachment/1676701/+files/xubuntu-consolekit-upower.patch -- XFCE4-Session doesn't use the ConsoleKit interface to shutdown or reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496423 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is a direct subscriber. Status in Xfce4 session manager: Unknown Status in “xfce4-session” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “xfce4-session” source package in Maverick: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: xfce4-session The current XFCE4-Session in Lucid (4.6.1) is using HAL to perform reboots and halts when selected from the menus. HAL is going away from being a supported app for shutdown or reboot in Ubuntu during the Lucid development cycle. XFCE4-session should migrate to using the ConsoleKit interface to perform these shutdown and reboots. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
