[Bug 323606] Re: Processes remain after log off, sometimes preventing further graphical logins
I just did some testing this weekend on my laptop, and indeed I did not find gvfs (or any other) processes remaining after log off in jaunty. I cannot give a more complete answer than that, though, as I no longer have access to the original network with mounted cifs shares, use cases, etc., etc., where this behavior was originally observed. -- Processes remain after log off, sometimes preventing further graphical logins https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/323606 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 323606] Re: Processes remain after log off, sometimes preventing further graphical logins
Well, I have not tested _every_ time a user logs off, but the short answer is yes. Although I no longer have access to the network where I first discovered this issue, my recollection is that processes remain every time a user logs off. If not every time, then nearly every time. The remaining processes do not interfere with subsequent logins every time, though. Only sometimes. I have not yet been able to determine what exactly is preventing a subsequent login, but in a corporate environment this has to be addressed without the need to call a technician, hence the /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default modification. I noticed that most of my other bug reports about this issue were closed, even though I was simply following specific instructions to file those reports. Are the other aberrant processes indeed being looked at so this issue can be fixed? -- Processes remain after log off, sometimes preventing further graphical logins https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/323606 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

** Description changed:
Binary package hint: gvfs-fuse
This bug is being filed pursuant to the instructions of Sebastien
Bacher, who advised: the issue is not a gdm one, you should rather open
bugs for buggy servers which don't have a bug open yet
(https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/236210/comments/10).

+ [Similar bugs filed against: libbonobo (Bug #323604), evolution-data-
+ server (Bug #323607), and gconf (Bug #323608)]
After logging out of a GNOME session, processes owned by the now-logged-
out user still remain and interfere with subsequent logons.
e.g.
toobu...@uw1:~$ w
11:20:37 up 2 days, 20:29, 1 user, load average: 0.04, 0.16, 0.17
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
toobuntu pts/0 uw5.local Fri17 0.00s 0.22s 0.00s w
toobu...@uw1:~$ ps U ed
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
20305 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/lib/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-server -
20334 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib/gvfs//gvfs-fuse-daemon /home/ed/.gvfs
20404 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/lib/evolution/evolution-data-server-2.22 --oaf-a
21510 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2 11
It seems that these processes are called by GDM, so a GDM restart gets
us to a clean slate again. But these processes should, in and of
themselves, know to terminate upon user log off. See a fuller discussion
re: cleaning of GNOME processes at logoff at the link I posted here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
session/+bug/49594/comments/33
WORKAROUND - have GDM kill all processes owned by the user logging out
by adding a line to /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default
$ ls /etc/gdm/PostSession/
Default
$ tail /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default
fi
done
IFS=$OLD_IFS
echo $OUTPUT
}
# kill straggler processes after logout (LP: #236210)
pkill -u ${USER}
exit 0

FYI- From http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/docs/2.14/configuration.html :
When the user terminates his session, the PostSession script will be
run. Again operation is similar to Init, PostLogin and PreSession. Again
the script will be run with root privileges, the slave daemon will block
and the $USER environment variable will contain the name of the user who
just logged out and $DISPLAY will be set to the display the user used,
however note that the X server for this display may already be dead and
so you shouldn't try to access it. Also $X_SERVERS environmental
variable is set and this points to a fake generated X servers file for
use with the sessreg accounting application.
Note that the PostSession script will be run even when the display fails to
respond due to an I/O error or similar. Thus, there is no guarantee that X
applications will work during script execution.
