On restart/shutdown dialog incorrectly warns of other opened sessions

[Dario Teixeira]

Place yourself at the KDM login screen. Now press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch to one of the console terminals. Login from the console and then *logout* again. Now go back to KDM with Alt+F8. Select shutdown or restart. KDM will warn you about an opened session in console F2 -- the one that we just logged out from!

Note: this bug also occurs in Edgy.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. I have classified this bug as a bug in kdm.

Good morning,

I am working on cleaning up some outstanding bugs. I noticed there were some comments that needed some response to.... Have you filled out these responses? Are you still having problems with the dialog incorrectly warning of other opened sessions?

Thanks for reporting this bug,

Jonathan

Marking this bug as won't fix due to lack of response from the initial reporter. If you are still having problems with restart/shutdown and warning of other sessions, please make sure your system is up to date and re-open this bug.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi,

I am reopening the ticket. And I'm afraid there has been some communication problems. After my initial report, there was a message from Brian Murray stating that the bug was classified as belonging to kdm. After that, there's a message from Jonathan Jesse asking me if I have filled these responses. What responses?! There was no question asked by Brian Murray, and my initial report already includes all information required to reproduce the problem.

And by the way, the problem still happens in Kubuntu Gutsy!

Cheers,
Dario

Dario,

Sorry for the confusion on this bug and the communication. I thought there
was some response that was waiting for that didn't get responded to

This seems to be fixed in KDE4, which is shipping with Kubuntu Intrepid. (Packages also available for Hardy)
If this is still a problem with the kde4 version of kdm, please re-open this bug.
