Description lnie 2025-09-11 08:02:02 UTC
1. Do a fresh installation with Fedora-Workstation-Live-43_Beta-1.3.x86_64.iso,
2. boot into the system, and create another user 
3. switch to that user session by clicking the "switch user" button
4. switch back and try to restart the system, gnome-shell claims that other users login let me choose "cancel" or "restart", I click "restart", nothing happens

Reproducible: Always

Bug reports for this component on Red Hat Bugzilla are not actively monitored. Please consider reporting your issue directly to GNOME at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/ to improve the chances that your issue will be resolved. This issue should only be kept open if it:

1. Relates to Fedora packaging or integration with other Fedora components
2. Is required for Fedora release processes, such as blocker bugs and freeze exceptions

If this issue isn't needed for either of these two reasons, please:

 * create an issue with GNOME
 * add a link to the GNOME issue here
 * close this issue as CLOSED/UPSTREAM

Thank you!

Comment 5 Lukas Ruzicka 2025-09-11 10:15:29 UTC
I cannot reproduce this on Beta RC3. For me, all following scenarios work fine:

 * an admin user restarts when non admin user logged in -> computer restarts
 * an admin user restarts when another admin user logged in -> computer restarts
 * a non admin user restarts when an admin user logged in -> computer restarts

I tested this on a freshly installed system.

You need start an app(say,firefox) in the not-restarter user session,ie,
if you let userA restart the session,you need have at least an app opened in userB session.
Works with f42, btw.

okay, try 3 more times, not able to reproduce anymore, closing.
