This is an old problem, but don't know how to solve it Yeah I realzed it too. It really seems to be a very old bug that nobody has fixed yet. That's weired somehow because a lot of gnome users should have the same problem for at least a year now. I hope there's a fix soon. Just out of curiosity, do other ?dm programs switch? Maybe it's an X thing rather than a ?dm thing? I'd never noticed the issue, possibly because I rarely shutdown, and when I do I frequently walk away.

I thought the problem was related with some passed change on gnome-session... but don't know much more :-/ (In reply to comment #6) > (In reply to comment #5) > > Sometimes it works also with gdm sometimes not.

I mean the same behavior for such a long time and nobody cares about it? How sick is that? Well, I didn't investigate more the issue as I use gdm-2.20 with newer gnome releases, then, I thought it wasn't affecting to latest gdm version. I switched from gdm to SLiM now (Still have gnome!). I got the same problems with SLiM as with gdm. As I said KDE with kdm works. There I see the shutdown messages. Is it possibly a bug in gnome? It could also point to gnome-session :-/ Can anyone check with masked gdm versions in the tree or gnome overlay? In original report I see user tried with some 2.32 versions... if this is still valid with latest gdm, I would report this to upstream also -> bugzilla.gnome.org Can anybody using gnome3 from overlay and still suffering this report to upstream? I have been having the same problem with gdm-3.0.4-r1 (In reply to comment #14) > I have been having the same problem with gdm-3.0.4-r1 Can you report this to upstream please? Thanks a lot (In reply to comment #15) > (In reply to comment #14) > > I have been having the same problem with gdm-3.0.4-r1 > > Can you report this to upstream please? Thanks a lot Did anybody reported it? As a side note, I have seen the way gnome-session calls poweroff in bug 388701 works "properly" as it shutdowns gdm properly, showing a red message (that is dropped by gdm) and gdm doesn't try to reload. Would be nice to know what command is executing gnome-session in that case as it could help to solve this issue also ;) If people can check with Gnome3 and gdm-3 and it's still valid, please report to upstream. Thanks I can confirm that I don't have these problems with gdm-3.2.1 AND the ati open source drivers with kernel mode settings enabled. It doesn't seem to work with the closed source driver. this is now obsolete with gnome 3.8 |
