Public bug reported: 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://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1251281 where gnome-session-flashback was modified to accept a new flag (--disable-acceleration-check) so that a gnome flashback session could be started. 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-flashback 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu12.2 gnome-session 3.9.90-0ubuntu12.1 ~/.xsession : gnome-session --session=gnome-flashback --disable-acceleration-check Using Windows 7 Remote Desktop to connect to Ubuntu vm. Login to xrdp using module sesman-Xvnc I have attached the ~/.xsession-errors file. ** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: trusty ** Attachment added: ".xsession-errors" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1450279/+attachment/4388015/+files/xsession-errors -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1450279 Title: gnome flashback session fails to end on logout in Trusty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1450279/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
