Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
When operating in the gnome environment, the GTK and Mythbuntu UI's have the ability to use the gnome session dbus calls to request the system be rebooted.
Operating under XFCE, the command "reboot" is executed, but the system doesn't actually restart.

To post a comment you must log in.
This only fails in normal "live" mode. Using only-ubiquity mode, the restart button works properly.
It doesn't appear to be caused by permissions either as if you have a terminal open while pressing the reboot button in ubiquity, this message is echo'ed to the terminal:
"
Broadcast message from root@ubuntu
(unknown) at 4:03 ...
The system is going down for reboot NOW!
"
This would lead me to believe ubiquity is doing everything correctly, but upstart(?) is not handling the reboot properly.
