Bug Description
Binary package hint: vlc
Pressing the physical power button on the computer will normally bring up the "Shut down the computer"-dialog where I can choose what actions to take such as shutdown, restart, suspend and hibernate. However after using the media player VLC(Videolan) a notice-popup window is instead brought up saying:
Request to do policy action
Multiple applications have stopped the policy action from taking place.
vlc : Playing some media.
vlc : Playing some media.
I am using Ubuntu 8.10 upgraded from 6.06 through 8.04 on my Dell inspiron 5100 laptop.
Admittedly upgraded 8.10 is different from installed from scratch 8.10(I used to have an installed from scratch 8.10 version before I decided to play around and because my CD-ROM reader is broken I had to upgrade from 6.06). For one thing the network status icon on the notification area is different and the Log Out Button application is not the same that comes as default with installed from scratch 8.10.
