shutdown/reboot in user Gnome session returns to GDM, instead of rebooting

[TomaszChmielewski]

Binary package hint: gdm

When I do shutdown or reboot in user Gnome session, it waits a bit, user is logged out, and I see GDM prompt. There, I have to choose shutdown or reboot again in order to shutdown/reboot the computer.

I see it on two computers:

- freshly installed 10.10, 64 bit (95% when I try to shutdown/reboot)

- 10.10 upgraded from 10.04, 32 bit (seldom)

Hi,
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) on my Dell Laptop 1557. In Gnome , Clicking on Restart button is simply makes the user to log out. It does not restart the system as a whole. Also sometimes after booting the system that power button on the extreme right top corner just disappears. How to fix that ?

Same problem here. I have to open a terminal while logged in to "sudo reboot" or while at the login screen drop to a terminal.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
