Description of problem: Sometime, when I try to poweroff my machine, I see a popup as I cannot poweroff as other users are signed in and asks for my password. This is a single user machine. The /home contains only me and lost+found. I tried "who" but no one except me is signed in. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 18 How reproducible: frequently Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to poweroff 2. 3. Actual results: It asks for password as it thinks other users are signed in. Expected results: System should poweroff, without asking for password Additional info: I have talked about this in fedora irc and pasing the corresponding outputs here. Please ask for other infos required. # ls -ld /var/log/gdm drwxrwx--T. 2 root gdm 4096 Dec 30 11:29 /var/log/gdm # ls -l /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 94 Dec 24 15:26 /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf # ls -l /var/log/gdm/ total 288 -rw-r--r--. 1 root gdm 2608 Dec 30 11:30 :0-greeter.log -rw-r--r--. 1 root gdm 2631 Dec 30 10:19 :0-greeter.log.1 -rw-r--r--. 1 root gdm 2430 Dec 30 10:17 :0-greeter.log.2 -rw-r--r--. 1 root gdm 2680 Dec 29 22:59 :0-greeter.log.3 -rw-r--r--. 1 root gdm 2732 Dec 29 20:04 :0-greeter.log.4 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 39181 Dec 30 11:45 :0.log -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 35669 Dec 30 11:29 :0.log.1 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 28637 Dec 30 10:18 :0.log.2 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 30176 Dec 29 23:24 :0.log.3 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 30176 Dec 29 21:28 :0.log.4 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 645 Dec 30 12:00 :0-slave.log -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1038 Dec 30 11:29 :0-slave.log.1 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 866 Dec 30 10:18 :0-slave.log.2 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 879 Dec 29 23:24 :0-slave.log.3 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Dec 29 21:28 :0-slave.log.4 -rw-r--r--. 1 root gdm 2457 Dec 29 21:29 :1-greeter.log -rw-r--r--. 1 root gdm 2625 Dec 27 04:05 :1-greeter.log.1 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 30176 Dec 29 21:29 :1.log -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 34053 Dec 27 04:06 :1.log.1 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 957 Dec 29 21:29 :1-slave.log -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 884 Dec 27 04:06 :1-slave.log.1
When this happens, what is the output of 'loginctl'?
I will submit the output the next time this happens. To be sure that I submit correct loginctl, should I cancel the poweroff and take the output?
I just got the error when I clicked "install updates and restart" As asked, here is the loginctl $ loginctl SESSION UID USER SEAT 2 1000 rudra seat0 4 0 root 5 42 gdm seat0 6 1000 rudra seat0 4 sessions listed.
(In reply to comment #4) > $ loginctl > SESSION UID USER SEAT ... > 4 0 root This could be a cron job belonging to root. Check it using: loginctl session-status 4
yes...crond is running! $ loginctl session-status 4 4 - root (0) Since: Thu, 2013-01-10 08:01:01 GMT; 42min ago Leader: 15419 Service: crond; type unspecified; class user State: closing CGroup: name=systemd:/user/root/4 └ 15431 /usr/sbin/anacron -s But I have not started any cron, and this problem was never shown in previous fedora releases.
Hmm, we might want to ignore non-tty and non-graphical sessions for this check.

Could this be the same bug? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=869576
Looks like it. Lennart I got this today and it was the same issue, cron job running according to loginctl. However *I have already updated to systemd 197.* [michael@victory-road ~]$ loginctl list-sessions SESSION UID USER SEAT 3 0 root 5 0 root seat0 6 1000 michael seat0 3 sessions listed. [michael@victory-road ~]$ loginctl session-status 3 3 - root (0) Since: Wed 2013-02-13 21:01:01 CST; 13min ago Leader: 4519 Service: crond; type unspecified; class user State: closing CGroup: name=systemd:/user/root/3 └─4531 /usr/sbin/anacron -s

Oh I'm blind, sorry that is my fault for not reading properly. (I have 197-1.fc18.1.)

Reopening the bug, as this still happens to me, just the scenario is bit different. I am using IceWM and after I end up a session, I can not power off the machine for a few seconds from a GDM screen - I am still getting the dialog asking for a root password. After few attempts it suddenly powers off OK. It looks to me, like there is some kind of timeout or polling before the shutdown works. So far I was not able to get the loginctl output within this period.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. 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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
