I'll check whether this manifests also on bare metal. Since I suppose the option for poweroff/reboot should be there, I'm proposing this as a Beta blocker: All release-blocking desktops' offered mechanisms (if any) for shutting down, logging out and rebooting must work https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_17_Beta_Release_Criteria On bare metal there is just 'suspend' menu item, no poweroff/reboot either. Discussed at 2011-03-02 blocker review meeting. Agreed this is not a blocker: the criterion requires that the options *that are present* must work, it doesn't require any particular options to be present or not present. We are a bit worried about this bug, though, because 'do it via GDM' is the 'official' GNOME answer to 'how do I reboot / shutdown?' With shutdown / reboot in GDM broken, the only way you can possibly shutdown/reboot graphically from GNOME is the un-discoverable alt key workaround. So we may accept this as a final blocker if it's not fixed by then. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Re-proposing as F17 Final Blocker. Ray, can you please confirm that this is a bug and it is not an intended behavior? I have found the problem. If I install ConsoleKit, volume control and power control (reboot, poweroff) icons appear in GDM. But, because ConsoleKit should be removed from the default installation [1], we can't just add it back, can we? GDM has to be patched to work without ConsoleKit properly. [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ckremoval yup, indeed, if ConsoleKit removal is the cause here the fix is to make gdm work correctly without CK, not reinstate CK. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers This is waiting for an accountsservice patch from Lennart; should arrive next week It would be good if you guys could try and ensure this shows up in good time for Beta. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Should be fixed with accountsservice 0.6.17 and gdm 3.4.0.1 - we'll get those out as updates soon. |
