Power Manager doesn't terminate while login

[Jérôme]

While login into GDM, I get the below message window (French) :
-------------------
Un programme est toujours en cours d'exécution
(translation : a program is still running)
--
Power Manager
--
Absence de réponse
(tr : no reply)
----
vérrouiller l'écran / annuler / se déconnecter
(tr : lock screen / cancel / logout)
-------------------

If I click on "se déconnecter" (tr : logout) or wait a few seconds, I login into my user environment.

If I click on "annuler" (tr : cancel), the screen is frozen (except the mouse).

I need use a virtual terminal (CTRL-ALT-F1) in order to properly reboot my computer.

That version is no more supported; and backport is not expected as its not a 'security' problem

[Jérôme (jerome-bouat)]

Maybe the status should be "Won't fix".

[dino99 (9d9)]

Lightdm is the 'default' package, but your issue cant be reproduced with gdm on a fresh installation; so possibly some borked settings/profile/old symlinks on your system.
