Description of problem: When I click to shutdown my system, a dialog box is showed requesting authentication and warning that "uthentication is required for powering off the system while other users are logged in", but nobody is logged in. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Linux 17 (kernel 3.4.4-5.fc17.x86_64) The system is up to date. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on power off button on authentication screen. Actual results: A dialog box is showed requiring authentication. Expected results: The dialog box shouldn't showed because nobody is logged in. Additional info: For more information, please, ask me.

I installed plex media server that run the server with user "plex" on start up. I'm so sorry for open this ticket. Excuse-me. You can change this ticket as invalid. Congratulations to the team behind Fedora/Linux/Gnome3 for the beautiful work.
No problem. Thanks for the report.
I started seeing this with Fedora 18. I just log in normally via gdb, and need to give root password to shut the machine down: $ loginctl SESSION UID USER SEAT 2 500 julas seat0 3 0 root 5 500 julas seat0 9 500 julas seat0 I am assuming that session 3 is the culprit, but where could it be coming from? sudo perhaps?

On a second thought, it seems it has less to do with sudo and more with logging out and then back in: 2 500 julas seat0 3 0 root 5 500 julas seat0 7 500 julas seat0 2 - julas (500) Since: Mon, 2013-01-07 17:54:42 CET; 54min ago Leader: 1356 Seat: seat0; vc1 Display: :0 Service: gdm-password; type x11; class user State: closing CGroup: name=systemd:/user/julas/2 ├ 1558 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start ├ 1569 /usr/libexec/pulse/gconf-helper └ 2011 /usr/libexec/tracker-extract 3 - root (0) Since: Mon, 2013-01-07 18:01:01 CET; 47min ago Leader: 3024 Service: crond; type unspecified; class user State: closing CGroup: name=systemd:/user/root/3 └ 3036 /usr/sbin/anacron -s 5 - julas (500) Since: Mon, 2013-01-07 18:46:26 CET; 2min 31s ago Leader: 12076 Seat: seat0; vc1 Display: :1 Service: gdm-password; type x11; class user State: closing CGroup: name=systemd:/user/julas/5 └ 12726 /usr/libexec/tracker-extract 7 - julas (500) Since: Mon, 2013-01-07 18:47:07 CET; 1min 54s ago Leader: 12841 (gdm-session-wor) Seat: seat0; vc1 Display: :2 Service: gdm-password; type x11; class user State: active CGroup: name=systemd:/user/julas/7 ├ 12841 gdm-session-worker [pam/gdm-password] ├ 12850 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login ├ 12852 gnome-session ├ 12861 dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session ├ 12862 /bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-addr... ├ 12874 /usr/libexec/imsettings-daemon ├ 12877 /usr/libexec/gvfsd ├ 12881 /usr/libexec//gvfsd-fuse -f /run/user/500/gvfs ├ 12966 /usr/libexec/at-spi-bus-launcher ├ 12970 /bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/etc/at-spi2/access... ├ 12974 /usr/libexec/at-spi2-registryd --use-gnome-session... ├ 12981 /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 ├ 12988 /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon ├ 13004 /usr/libexec/gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor ├ 13008 /usr/libexec/gvfs-afc-volume-monitor ├ 13013 /usr/libexec/gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor ├ 13016 /usr/bin/gnome-shell ├ 13019 /usr/libexec/gsd-input-sources-switcher ├ 13024 /usr/libexec/gsd-printer ├ 13029 /usr/libexec/dconf-service ├ 13039 /usr/libexec/evolution/3.6/evolution-alarm-notify ├ 13040 nm-applet ├ 13042 /usr/libexec/tracker-miner-fs ├ 13043 abrt-applet ├ 13044 /usr/libexec/gnome-user-share ├ 13051 /usr/libexec/deja-dup/deja-dup-monitor ├ 13054 /bin/sh /usr/libexec/syncevo-dbus-server-startup.s... ├ 13059 zeitgeist-datahub ├ 13062 sleep 120 ├ 13063 /usr/libexec/tracker-store ├ 13065 /usr/bin/seapplet ├ 13083 /usr/bin/zeitgeist-daemon ├ 13111 /usr/libexec/zeitgeist-fts ├ 13114 /bin/cat ├ 13149 /usr/libexec/evolution-source-registry ├ 13167 /usr/libexec/gvfsd-metadata ├ 13171 /usr/libexec/goa-daemon ├ 13179 /usr/libexec/gnome-shell-calendar-server ├ 13188 /usr/libexec/evolution-calendar-factory ├ 13196 /usr/libexec/mission-control-5 ├ 13218 /usr/libexec/gvfsd-trash --spawner :1.3 /org/gtk/g... ├ 13230 /bin/sh /usr/libexec/gnome-documents-search-provid... ├ 13231 /usr/bin/gjs-console -I /usr/share/gnome-documents... ├ 13252 /usr/libexec/telepathy-logger ├ 13257 /usr/libexec/evolution-addressbook-factory ├ 13272 /usr/libexec/telepathy-gabble ├ 13299 gnome-terminal ├ 13305 gnome-pty-helper ├ 13306 bash └ 13517 loginctl session-status 7
