** Description changed: Binary package hint: gdm (split off from bug #196816) On Ubuntu Hardy Heron, if an inbound ssh session (from another system) is active, a shutdown initiated from an XFCE session fails to shut down the system and instead returns to the login screen. With a Gnome session the shutdown proceeds normally. An outbound ssh session, from tty1 for example, does not inhibit the XFCE-initiated shutdown sequence. On Xubuntu Intrepid Ibex Alpha 2 this occurs with both XFCE and Gnome (added via ubuntu-desktop). Neither will shut down if an inbound ssh session is active. I can't see any differences in the logs between a Gnome-initiated shutdown and an XFCE-initiated one. The issue is 100% reproducible. + + TEST CASE: + There are a number of steps needed to shutdown from the GUI if I am also logged in to a TTY console or SSH. + 1. Switch to a TTY after logging in to the desktop + 2. login to the TTY console + 3. Switch back to the desktop (Alt+F7) + 4. Select "Quit" button + 5. Select "Shutdown" + 1. On the error message is a "Quit" button, that I must hit. + 2. The gdm login screen comes up, so I am now logged out of the desktop. + 3. Hit "Shutdown" on the GDM screen + 4. Verify that I do want to shutdown. + + If you login remotely from another computer using SSH instead of logging + in to a TTY console, steps 4 and 5 still apply.
