Bug 33298 – system does not shutdown/restart on logout

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Duncan Coutts (RETIRED) 2003-11-12 05:50:02 UTC]

When you logout of gnome it presents a dialog asking if I want to logout, shutdown or restart. (also asks if you want to save the session). However, whichever option one selects, it always logs out, returning you to the GDM login screen. (Of course, from the GDM login screen you can shutdown or restart.)

It works on Mandrake! :-)

expected behaviour:
selecting shutdown or restart should shutdown/restart the system

actual behaviour:
returns to the GDM login screen

Other info:
This is from a local X login
my user is in groups: users adm wheel audio cdrom games portage
I'm now usign gnome 2.4 packages, but the bahaviour was the same with gnome 2.2 packages.

I am using:
gdm-2.4.1.6
gnome-session-2.4.0
gnome-2.4   (and all its associated dependencies)

just adding a somewhat relevant URL.

this should've been patched in 2.4.0 to remove that dialog, could you try remerging gnome-session-2.4.0 please ? Thanks.

[Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) 2003-11-15 11:39:50 UTC]

i agree with obz..

we dont support shutting down by the session by default, we leave it as an excercise to the user if they want to have it that way. The dialog showing should not have happened, that was a mistake in an ebuild for a while.

closing...
