Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 444789
xfce4-session-logout does not issue 'reboot' when restart is clicked
Last modified: 2009-01-14 09:27:53 EST
Description of problem: when clicking the xfce4 panel widget to initiate the logout dialog, clicking 'restart' does not issue a reboot but instead sends the user either back to gdm at runlevel 5 or back to the console at runlevel 3 (from where the startx command was issued) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xfce4-session-4.4.2-1.fc8 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. login via gdm or console + startx 2. immediately or shortly after, click panel widget that opens the logout dialog box. 3. click the 'restart' button Actual results: user is returned to gdm or console and must issue the _actual_ reboot/restart command from there. Expected results: normal restart/reboot Additional info: let me know if there's any additional hardware/software data that I can supply.
Sorry for the delay here... ;( Is there anything in your ~/.xsession about this issue? Is selinux enabled? Any AVC messages in /var/log/audit/audit.log ?
Any news? This might be a duplicate of: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448194 Can you provide the info requested in comment #1? and also, if you can provide the info requested in the above bug in comment #6 that would be great.
no nothing in particular from .xsession, and as well SELinux is running in permissive ... or was, anyway.. the power supply died on that box just recently so I've been living on the laptop for a while (which uses gnome, not xfce). I can create another account on this and test with it perhaps. but this is the reason for my own delay. among other RL(tm) issues :) I'll look into the other bug and get back to you once I get the time to play with it on the laptop and confirm the details.. (I'd do it now but am at work)
ok. I sure understand delays. Just let me know when you have a chance to look at it again.
Scott, anything new to this bug?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
This bug has been in 'needinfo' state for months without a reaction from the reporter, so just for the record I change the solution to INSUFFICIENT_DATA now.
