Description of problem: You boot your system from the LiveCD, log in as the livecd user, and use the LiveCD some. When you are finished using the LiveCD, you go to the Gnome menu and select "System -> Shut down". Now a dialog pops up which looks about like this: +------------------------------------------------------------+ | __Shut down this system now?__ | | | | You are currently logged in as "Live System User". | | This system will automatically be shut down in 60 seconds. | | | | [Suspend*] [Hibernate] [Cancel] | +------------------------------------------------------------+ * Suspend button not available when running F10snap1 in qemu. The "60 seconds" will decrease by 10 every 10 seconds. Why can't there just be a "Shut Down" button which shuts the system down right now, like on any normal non-Live-CD system? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F10 Snap1 LiveCD How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. qemu -m 512 -cdrom path/to/F10-Snap1-i686-Live.iso (or boot the physical system from the F10 Snap1 LiveCD) 2. Wait until system has booted up to Gnome desktop. 3. Select "System -> Shut down" to shut down. 4. Curse about the unnecessary enforced 60 second wait. Actual results: No "Shut Down" button. Expected results: A "Shut Down" or "Shut Down NOW" button. Additional info: This might be related to or duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444870 but I'll leave that for the experts to decide. A comment there suggests that this might be related to gnome-panel, gnome-session, GDM, ConsoleKit. Please reassign this bug to the appropriate package when necessary.
I forgot: Ping me if you need the F10 Snap1 ISO image without waiting a week for the torrent to finish.
I appears that, when running under qemu (and unlike when running directly on the bare metal) the system is not actually shut down when that timeout expires.
what version of gnome-session is on the livecd?
[liveuser@localhost ~]$ rpm -q kernel gnome-session gnome-panel ConsoleKit gdm upstart kernel-2.6.27-1.fc10.i686 gnome-session-2.24.0-8.fc10.i386 gnome-panel-2.24.0-6.fc10.i386 ConsoleKit-0.3.0-2.fc10.i386 gdm-2.24.0-8.fc10.i386 upstart-0.3.9-19.fc10.i386 [liveuser@localhost ~]$
