2015-03-10 04:36:50 Tim Lunn description We have had reports going back to 13.10 that gnome-shell extensions are disabled after restart (LP: #1236749), I've only just managed to reproduce this and have discovered that gnome-session is not shutting down cleanly. Basically, X gets shutdown, which causes gnome-shell to abort, following this gnome-session tries to respawn gnome-shell which fails and due to this failure disables all shell extensions. I don't know enough about upstart to really understand what is going on but it appears this also affects unity and it just hasnt been noticed since there are probably no such side-effects happening there. Filing this against upstart since this is not reproducible when using systemd init, though it may well be a bug in gnome-session, but related to upstart user sessions. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: upstart 1.13.2-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-22.29-generic 3.16.4 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Sat Oct 25 14:05:24 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-09-23 (762 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu GNOME Remix 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Alpha amd64(20120922) SourcePackage: upstart UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UpstartBugCategory: Session UpstartRunningSessionCount: 1 UpstartRunningSessionVersion: upstart 1.13.2 UpstartRunningSystemVersion: init (upstart 1.13.2) [Impact] We have had reports going back to 13.10 that gnome-shell extensions are disabled after restart (LP: #1236749), this has probably been our #1 unresolved bug for the last few cycles. While this is the main user visible bug probably other bugs caused by this for example (BGO: #745707) The cause was tracked down to gnome-session not shutting down cleanly under upstart. Although the underlying issue seems to be the order in which upstart takes down the various components in a user session, the side-effects themselves appear to be caused by gnome-session continuing to run when it should in fact be shutdown The fix updates the 103_kill_the_fail_whale.patch to force shutdown of gnome-session. This is inline with the fix upstream for (BGO: #745707) also. [ Test Case ] 1. Load gdm 2. Login to gnome-shell using GNOME from the session list 3. enable some extensions 4. reboot system from user menu. 5. login again to find extensions disabled. [ Regression Potential ] Very low, the fail whale is meant to be fatal. The upstream dialog that is disabled in ubuntu does in fact cause gnome-session to get shutdown.
