gnome-session-quit does nothing

[Juan Simón]

I select "Shutdown" from gnome menu or I execute "gnome-session-quit" in console but it does nothing. It shows nothing.

$ gnome-session-quit

Does "dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop" work for you? If it doesn't, it is a problem with ConsoleKit if it does, then the problem could lie in the package gnome-session-bin. Especially if gnome-session-quit also does nothing when the --no-prompt option is used.

"dbus-send --print-reply --system ..." works.

"gnome-session-quit --logout --no-prompt" does nothing too.

[hakaishi (hakaishi)]

well, the way I get it is that gnome-session-quit uses ConsoleKit but because of the implementation with the dialog (GTK) it won't work.

Is this a bug of package or a problem in my system?

[hakaishi (hakaishi)]

I dont't know since I'm not a maintainer of that package nor do I fully understand how the package works because I'm not into C and the depths of the system.
I just wanted to provide some additional information to the maintainers and the other subscribers, thus I was asking.

I don't think that the problem lies in your system but the package or its dependencies. More likely within the dependencies...

"dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop" is to shutdown the computer.
What would be the instructions to restart and log off?

When I press Suspend it works well. And sometimes, when I press in "Shutdown...", it shows the shutdown dialog to select "Restart", "Suspend", etc...

[hakaishi (hakaishi)]

Sorry, strangely I wasn't notified that you commented again.

For ConsoleKit there is Stop and Restart -> "dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart".

I'm not sure about log off... You could try CloseSession (I cant test that right now).

That version is no more supported
