[Bug 855556] Re: Restart and Shut Down don't work if anyone else is logged in
Huh, I assumed this was just a regression, not something that would need design work. The design is fairly simple, though it would require one new string. There should be a PolicyKit permission for shutting down (including restarting) while other people are logged in, and only admins should have it. So if you choose either command while other accounts are logged in, you should get a PolicyKit dialog saying Other user accounts are logged in. Shutting down before they log out may cause them to lose work. To continue, you need to authenticate. That would answer all three questions: the dialog would be the thing warning you, if you weren't an admin you'd need an admin to authenticate for you, and that means the dialog could appear regardless of whether the active user account is an admin. -- 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/86 Title: Restart and Shut Down don't work if anyone else is logged in To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/86/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 855556] Re: Restart and Shut Down don't work if anyone else is logged in
The original plan a couple of years ago to fix this properly was to have a new shutdown API in Consolekit which the sessions of all logged in users could interact with to ensure a clean shutdown for all users, and allow other sessions to inhibit shutdown if the user had unsaved work or etc (and also provide a way for system jobs such as software updates to inhibit shutdown). This never materialized though, and I guess that there is little motivation for fixing this in consolekit / gnome-session now with all these being eventually replaced by systemd.
