When gdm stops , there is a warning message (from /var/log/syslog) : Feb 15 00:45:47 localhost gdm[4716]: WARNING: main daemon: Got SIGABRT. Something went very wrong. Going down! An other strange thing -- which is probably linked with the warning -- is that when shutting down directly from Gnome (System -> Shutting Down), the messages on the framebuffer don't appear ("Swith to runlevel 0", etc). If I close the session first, and then shutting down from gdm, that's OK. Some information about my system : Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Shut down the system : directly from Gnome, or from gdm. 2.There is a warning message. x86 stable, gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r8, gdm-2.20.3 $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.4.4 (default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.23-gentoo-r8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.23-gentoo-r8 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 1300MHz Timestamp of tree: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 12:16:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.4 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r6 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.10-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/mnt/gentoo2/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.tiscali.nl/pub/mirror/gentoo/ http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo" LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ALL="fr_FR.UTF-8" LINGUAS="fr" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa apache2 avahi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dts dvd dvdnav dvdread encode esd ffmpeg firefox flac fortran gdbm geoip gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtkhtml hal iconv isdnlog jpeg libnotify mad matroska midi mmx mp3 mpeg mplayer mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl png pppd python quicktime readline reflection sdl session spl sse sse2 ssl svg tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vcd vorbis win32codecs x264 x86 xine xml xorg xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic auth_digest authn_anon authn_dbd authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock dbd deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers ident imagemap include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation proxy proxy_ajp proxy_balancer proxy_connect proxy_http rewrite setenvif so speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="fr" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="i810 vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
On my boxes it appears to be fixed by recent updates could you try again (no need to move to gnome-2.22 though)
The recent updates doesn't work fine for me : shutdown[4999]: shutting down for system halt init: Switching to runlevel: 0 gdm[5014]: CRITICAL: gdm_connection_close: assertion `conn != NULL' failed last message repeated 2 times kernel: gdm[5014]: segfault at 23feac94 eip b73a7759 esp bf8ab680 error 4 gdm[3779]: WARNING: gdm_cleanup_children: child 5014 crashed of signal 11 gdm[3779]: WARNING: gdm_cleanup_children: Slave crashed, killing its children kernel: gdm[3779]: segfault at 08576228 eip b73a7759 esp bf8aba30 error 4
Same her for me. Errors on shutting down from gnome. The Framebuffer switches into verbose mode cause of that and this is annoying me.
I get this too, sometimes mixed with: May 11 02:20:13 stanley /etc/init.d/xdm[22008]: start-stop-daemon: fopen `/var/run/gdm.pid': No such file or directory May 11 02:20:13 stanley syslog-ng[1862]: Termination requested via signal, terminating;
Same troubles here I am affraid. 2008.0 profile on amd64 and Gnome 2.22 Removing all files from ~/.metacity/sessions and ~/.nautilus seems to cure the crash on reboot/shoutdown, but message about missing .pid is still there I am affraid.
It seems that http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517526 can be same issue.
Patch from post http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517526#c61 fixed this problem for me. It seems it's not perfect solution, but better than a crash on each reboot/shoutdown.

please test 2.20.8, it should fix your problems. If not, please reopen this bug.
