Kubuntu Intrepid asks "Abort active sessions?" on reboot

[Benjamin Kay]

Binary package hint: kdm-kde4

The Kubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) Release Candidate livecd asks if I want to abort active sessions when I reboot it. This happens even if I do nothing but boot the livecd, then go to K > Leave > Restart. This is not a major problem -- choosing OK will reboot the computer, and installation from the livecd works fine. However the unnecessary message could be confusing to users, especially a novice who has no idea what an "active session" is and whether or not it will affect his or her installation.

This bug only seems to affect the livecd. Rebooting the installed Kubuntu does not bring up the abort active sessions dialog (unless, of course, you've logged in to one of the VTs).

The problem seems to have gone away in the October 27 Intrepid x86_64 daily-live. Tentatively marking this as fixed.

I run exactly into this bug with Kubuntu-8.10 final. And yes, I can confirm that normal users are really confused about this message.

Another strange thing: The sessions in the list are always sorted tty 1,6,3,2,4,5. Looks like someone uses somewhere a really broken sorting algorithm...

This problem seems to have gone away in the Kubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) Alpha 5 installation CD. Once again tentatively marking this as fixed.

You managed to resurrect this bug with Kubuntu 9.04 beta. I don't like your necromancy.

I am going to fix release as I haven't seen this popup in a long time. I do not believe the popup was any fault of KDEs but because something was going on behind the scenes with TTY1-3. If this occurs again, please reopen with more information, as I will follow it and see if we can pinpoint this issue. Thank you!

This bug is most likely a duplicate of bug #315865 which has been reported upstream.
