Description of problem: For reason unknown to me, I could not shutdown my machine once while there was nobody logged in anymore. Logging onto tty as root, systemd-loginctl shows active session for a user, while there was no user really active anymore. # systemd-loginctl SESSION UID USER SEAT 2 500 covex seat0 531 42 gdm seat0 534 0 root seat0 3 sessions listed. [root@mejvis ~]# ps axu | grep covex root 546 0.0 0.0 109176 844 tty2 S+ 08:57 0:00 grep --color=auto covex There were no processes visible for user that has seat active according to systemd. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-197-1.fc18.1.x86_64 How reproducible: Rarely. Steps to Reproduce: Unknown so far. Note: Using icewm.
Likely a duplicate of 890827. Please reopen if it happens again with systemd >= systemd-197-1.fc18.2. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 890827 ***
And if it happens, check "loginctl session-status $ID" for IDs of any suspicious sessions.
