From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2smp i686) Description of problem: This was initially brought on by issuing the halt command as a user from a remote machine with ssh. It turned out that I had an open shell on the machine so it went down. After the reboot, it tried it again, making sure there wasn't an open shell on the machine and got the following ... [nate@dolphin-dock nate]$ halt [nate@dolphin-dock nate]$ halt Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkmain.c: line 582 (gtk_main_quit): assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed. And the program is hung. A ^C will kill it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.ssh into a remote machine as user 2.type halt 3.repeat until bug opens up. Actual Results: Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkmain.c: line 582 (gtk_main_quit): assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed. Expected Results: nothing happens. Additional info:
Consolehelper is stuck. Reassigning to usermode.
This should be fixed in 1.44. If the initial attempt to start up the child fails, then consolehelper would call gtk_main_quit() instead of _exit(). Please reopen this bug if you find that this does not resolve it.
