1) Ensure that you *don't* have the package "powermanagement-interface" installed (which provides `gdm-signal`).
2) Copy the attached file to /usr/bin/gdm-signal, and make it executable:
sudo cp ~/gdm-signal /usr/bin
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gdm-signal
3) *Temporarily*, remove the executable attribute from gnome-session-save, which is called by iTalc and overrides the shutdown command (remember to restore it after the test):
sudo chmod -x /usr/bin/gnome-session-save
4) Then start iTalc normally on the server and try to reboot or shutdown the client. Hopefully it should work (it does for me).
Better yet, try the following on a client:
1) Ensure that you *don't* have the package "powermanagemen t-interface" installed (which provides `gdm-signal`).
2) Copy the attached file to /usr/bin/ gdm-signal, and make it executable:
sudo cp ~/gdm-signal /usr/bin
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gdm-signal
3) *Temporarily*, remove the executable attribute from gnome-session-save, which is called by iTalc and overrides the shutdown command (remember to restore it after the test): gnome-session- save
sudo chmod -x /usr/bin/
4) Then start iTalc normally on the server and try to reboot or shutdown the client. Hopefully it should work (it does for me).
