So, this bug is still active and only fixed for live sessions, right?
Besides, isn't it a duplicate of #861171?

Title:
Restart and Shut Down don't work if anyone else
The merge proposal I submitted above
(https://code.launchpad.net/~achiang/ubuntu/quantal/casper/bug-86/+merge/106476)
is a minimal fix to allow shutdown/restart to work from the Unity
greeter during a live session.
I don't think it fixes the general case mpt is talking about in the
original
The temporary workaround is to edit
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy (every time it's
updated)
and in org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart-multiple-users and
org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop-multiple-users set

Bilal, lightdm has nothing to do with that, indicator-session is used,
the issue is mostly with gnome-session,consolekit but indicator-session
since it's what handle the logout dialog could help messaging that
somebody else is logged in
** Package changed: lightdm (Ubuntu) = indicator-session
@Doug: I doubt we want shutdown to log out all active sessions without
asking for confirmation first, it would be too easy to misclick and take
sessions down that you didn't notice were running and that you didn't
want to stop in this case

@Bilal, also please assign bugs with the greeter to the unity-greeter
package as that is the most likely location of the problem. We'll
reassign them to LightDM if the problem turns out to be from there.

This isn't an issue with indicator-session, but with either lightdm or

Well if the intention is to allow the admin (group:sudo in 12.04) to be
able to do this then why not just add a .pkla for consolekit?
Seems quite similar to 'indicatorcpufreqselector' which has been
handled that way when polkit's auth_admin_keep was ineffectual

Combined with bug874870 (user-switching fails for some reason;
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/874872), this
makes LightDM useless for all but the inital login for me. I AM the
admin, but when I can't even log into my own session, I'm only left with
doing hard-resets.

There is no sense in preventing non admin users from shutting down the computer
since local users may force shutdown.
A least, there could be a prompt for admin password in order to force all users
logout before shutdown.

Until this is sorted out properly, it would be nice if the user at least
got feedback as to why the shutdown/restart attempt failed.

Local user should be able to shutdown even when not admin, otherwise she
will use power button..

Sebastian, as I said, if you weren't an admin you'd need an admin to
authenticate for you, so the dialog could appear regardless of whether
the active user account is an admin.

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

a dialog? or not be enabled in the indicator to indicate you can't do
those?

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
Thanks Matthew, some questions for you:
- should something warn you that other users are logged in before doing the
restart or shutdown?
- should non-admin user be allow to shutdown the machine when other sessions
are active?
- what should happen if the user who wants to shutdown is not
