[Bug 1450279] Re: gnome flashback session fails to end on logout in Trusty
Hi Alberts, Good work! I was also able to connect and logout multiple times after restarting xrdp (sudo service xrdp restart). All the processes end properly and the rdp window closes. Now if we can just figure out what is different after restarting xrdp compared to how it is after system boot... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1450279 Title: gnome flashback session fails to end on logout in Trusty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1450279/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1440570] Re: VNC'ing into gnome-session-flashback (Metacity) in non-shared desktop mode causes Super+KEY pressed behavior
Hi Alberts, Yes, Super+Tab only works before patch is added. It doesn't work after patch is added. As you said, Alt+Tab is an alternative for Super+Tab. I've done some more testing of Super key shortcuts using shortcuts from https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/shell-keyboard-shortcuts.html.en The only other shortcut that worked in the unpatched metacity in the problem scenario, is Super+Shift+TAB, and Alt+Shift+Tab is an alternative. As there are alternatives for the 2 Super key shortcuts that worked in the unpatched metacity in the problem scenario, there should be few (or no) objections.

[Bug 1440570] Re: VNC'ing into gnome-session-flashback (Metacity) in non-shared desktop mode causes Super+KEY pressed behavior
I have tested metacity 1:2.34.13-0ubuntu4.1 and while the s key now works correctly (no longer opens the Applications menu), the Super (Windows) key no longer works. For example, Windows+Tab no longer switches between application windows. I uninstalled the trusty proposed metacity, libmetacity-private0a + metacity-common, and reinstalled the current 1:2.34.13-0ubuntu4 versions to verify that the Windows key actually did work before the proposed patch. Some may say that the Super key not working is a much smaller problem than the s key always opening the Applications menu. I'd be OK with not being able to use the Super key but maybe others would consider this a serious regression. I'll leave it to others more qualified to decide if this should be flagged as verification-done or verification-failed. My testing was done using Windows 7 Remote Desktop Connection to connect to a Ubuntu 14.04.2 machine running xrdp. The Ubuntu machine is a client vm of a VMware vSphere host. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440570 Title: VNC'ing into gnome-session-flashback (Metacity) in non-shared desktop mode causes Super+KEY pressed behavior To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/1440570/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1450279] Re: gnome flashback session fails to end on logout in Trusty
Hi Alberts, I have changed ~/.xsession to : gnome-session --session=gnome-flashback --disable-acceleration-check --debug and attached the resulting ~/.xsession-errors (xsession-errors20150501) I removed: export DESKTOP_SESSION=gnome-fallback export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity which you suggested in bug 1251281. If you'd like to see the --debug output with those settings included, please let me know. I saw there are some suspicious msgs in xsession-errors20150501 that made me think dropbox may be the problem. So I did the test again as a different user (tims) which does not use dropbox. Unfortunately, the seesion still hangs on logout. The debug xsession errors for that test are attached as xsession-errors-tims-nodropbox. Thanks very much for your help.

Oops, I should have posted the comment first before adding an attachment. Here is the rest of comment #89: I have attached the ~/.xsession-errors file. The other problems are: Many indicators do not work. eg nm-applet I cannot type 's' in gnome-terminal - it keeps on opening the Applications menu. Should I raise new bug(s) for these?

Hi Alberts Muktupāvels, Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it but it hasn't made any difference. (I know the new environment values were used because I can see them in the environment when running terminal in the gnome desktop). The messages in .xsession-errors are in a different order but seem to be the same.

[Bug 1450279] [NEW] gnome flashback session fails to end on logout in Trusty
Public bug reported: On logout, the window changes to a blank purple screen and never closes. All the processes are still running. This is a big problem because in Trusty, Unity needs hardware acceleration, so you cannot use Unity in any remote access scenario (like using windows remote desktop to access a VMware vSphere Ubuntu Trusty vm with xrdp) where hardware acceleration is not available. Many people are trying to use alternative desktops, like gnome-flashback or xfce (xfce seems to have too many downsides in this situation for me). This is a follow on from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1251281 where gnome-session-flashback was modified to accept a new flag (--disable-acceleration-check) so that a gnome flashback session could be started. Thanks to the patch for 1251281 we can now run gnome flashback but it doesn't logout properly, which makes it unusable. Environment: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (up to date) gnome-session-flashback 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu12.2 gnome-session 3.9.90-0ubuntu12.1 ~/.xsession : gnome-session --session=gnome-flashback --disable-acceleration-check Using Windows 7 Remote Desktop to connect to Ubuntu vm.
