Cannot log out if Diodon is running

[Roland (Rolandixor) Taylor]

If I try to log out while Diodon is running, it blocks the log out. If I quit Diodon it works. Also true of restarting and shutting down.

Thanks for the bug report... I will need some more details to verify what's happening.

* What Diodon are you running on what Ubuntu version?
* Can you also attach a debug log when this happens?

You can do this by going to Startup applications and changing the Diodon command to the following:
bash -c "G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all setsid /usr/local/bin/diodon &>/home/username/diodon_debug.log"

Replace username with your username. When you now restart your machine Diodon with create a debug log diodon_debug.log.

When this is happening Try to log out... when the whole process is hanging get a copy of the debug log and attach to this issue.

Thanks.

Sorry I never got back to you on this bug. I've not had the issue in a long time but now working on a client's system the bug is back again.

I was able to reproduce this issue on my machine and I think I know what it could be.

I need to verify but hope to have a fix for the next version.

Finally figure out what the issue here is. Diodon was registering with the session manager which caused the session manager to wait before Diodon properly closed.

Fix committed and available for testing in daily ppa ppa:diodon-team/daily

I can confirm it's fixed in version 1.5.0. Thanks!

Problem still exist on 16.04.

[Oliver Sauder (sao)]

This issue has been fixed since version 1.4.0.

In Xenial main repository the Diodon version is still 1.3.0.

See Bug #1563435

To install newest version in Xenial the stable ppa ppa:diodon-team/stable needs to be used.

[Cubic PPA (cubic-wizard)]

I've been testing with version 1.5.0~ubuntu16.04.1 from the PPA, and have not experienced this issue.
