From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: Both user and root user get stuck use CTL-ALT-DEL/Logout. The desktop never exits forcing me to use CTL-ALT-Backspace. This system is a new upgrade from enterprise 3es. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.login runlevel 5 2.CTL-ALT-DEL 3.select logout and click the OK button. Expected Results: Decktop closes and graphic login returns. Additional info:
I've seen this intermittently on Fedora Core 2, but I haven't hit it (yet??) with latest rawhide or with FC3 rc1. If you want to try reproducing this with FC3 rc1, it's available here: http://testing.fedora.redhat.com/tree/ http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/FC3-rc1/3/ (I know this bug has been reported against RHEL 4 beta1, but FC3 and RHEL4 are very related right now, so it might be helpful to see if this bug still exists in FC3.)
I saw this, once, on one of my boxes with a fresh install of a 2004-11-05 rawhide snapshot. I can't reproduce it though. (Also, the box that it happened on is only 300MHz, for what that's worth.) Anyway, whatever the problem is, it's *far* less severe with recent rawhide than with FC2 (with FC2 I was able to hit it somewhat frequently on a pretty wide range of boxes). If I figure out a way of reproducing this with recent rawhide, or RHEL 4b2, or FC3, then I'll add another comment here.
There are several bugs similar to this one on bugzilla, but this seems to be the one most similar to the problem I've encountered. This occurs on two separate machines. Fedora Core 3 (fresh install) running Gnome. Problem: Delays on Log Out Details: On selecting Action>Log Out, the Log Out dialog box appears. After selecting Log Out and clicking OK, nothing happens for two to three minutes. Eventually, the log out occurs. If you wait for the log out (that is, abstain from killing X with ctrl-alt-bs, or opening a console with ctrl-alt-F1 and shutting down the machine), then log in, then select Action>Log Out, nothing happens (no Log Out dialog box) for two minutes. Then the box appears and log out can proceed immediately. This symptom occurs on both machines. The kernel is still running fine. An ssh connection seems to work just fine. ps ax shows the last task running to be /usr/bin/esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -spawnfd 28 Fedora Core 3 - fresh install Two machines: 1. Sony VGN-A270P (laptop) 2 GB RAM ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] 2. Dell Dimension V433C 384 GB RAM ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X (rev 5c) I note that the commonality between the two machines is the ATI video card. I wonder if there's a problem with the driver. Roy Kimbrell
It looks like the delay between clicking OK on the Log Out dialog box to the time the log out or shutdown occurs is exactly 120 seconds - at least that´s as close as I can measure it on my wristwatch. This for the case where the delay occurs between clicking OK and the logout occurs. I´ll time the other delay (where it occurs between selecting Action>Log Out and the Log Out dialog box appears). If it´s any different I´ll post that as well. Roy
I think it might be a race condition. Select Actions>Log Out BEFORE THE SCREEN FINISHES DIMMING - On the ensuing dialog box, click Log Out or Shut down In this case there will be a 120 second delay before the action takes place. If you wait for the dimming to complete it will occur immediately.
Re: comments 3, 4, 5 That's not this bug. If this is the most similar bug in RH Bugzilla, then please file a new bug rather than piggybacking onto this one. This bug basically boils down to "click OK on the logout dialog, leave the machine running overnight, come back the next day (or even a few days later), and logout *still* hasn't finished yet". And IIRC one of the boxes I've seen this on is a monster box where it's physically impossible to click *anything* in the Log Out dialog before the screen finishes dimming, because it dims that fast (and that's at 1920x1200 resolution, even). I have not seen this since the FC3 release, but the box that was most afflicted by this is still running FC2. (That will be changing later this month, but until then I won't know if this bug still exists.)
