Bug Description
On logout, the window changes to a blank purple screen and never closes.
All the processes are still running.
This is a big problem because in Trusty, Unity needs hardware acceleration, so you cannot use Unity in any remote access scenario (like using windows remote desktop to access a VMware vSphere Ubuntu Trusty vm with xrdp) where hardware acceleration is not available.
Many people are trying to use alternative desktops, like gnome-flashback or xfce (xfce seems to have too many downsides in this situation for me).
This is a follow on from https:/
Thanks to the patch for 1251281 we can now run gnome flashback but it doesn't logout properly, which makes it unusable.
Environment:
Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (up to date)
gnome-session-
gnome-session 3.9.90-0ubuntu12.1
~/.xsession :
gnome-session --session=
Using Windows 7 Remote Desktop to connect to Ubuntu vm.
Login to xrdp using module sesman-Xvnc
I have attached the ~/.xsession-errors file.
Can you attach .xsession-errors running gnome-session with --debug?
Login, try to logout and then copy .xsession-errors file. It might show some info why it fails to logout.
