I figured out the problem is that I disabled the power manager under services. The power manager doesn't do anything useful on a desktop system, but the shutdown dialog talks to the power manager to determine if suspend/resume work.
Therefore the problem is logout is trying to talk to the non-existent power manger. -- gnome logout button takes forever https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
