Bug#775608: shutdown-at-night: fails to shut down the system if gdm3 is used
Package: shutdown-at-night Version: 0.14 Severity: important Tags: patch The gdm3 greeter seems to be a special gnome-session running as a user with name '(unknown)'. shutdown-at-night uses 'who' to decide if users are still active but doesn't recognize this very case. The patch has been tested and commited to git. (wheezy is affected as well, version: 0.10+deb7u2) diff --git a/shutdown-at-night b/shutdown-at-night index 4427ef7..9411014 100755 --- a/shutdown-at-night +++ b/shutdown-at-night @@ -98,7 +98,7 @@ prepare_wakeonlan() { # Return true if local user is logged in, false otherwise is_local_user() { -if [ "$(who)" ] ; then +if [ "$(who | grep -v '\(unknown\)')" ] ; then return 0 else return 1 Wolfgang signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Gah, I really wish gdm would make up its mind on how to handle utmp and wtmp. > The patch has been tested and commited to git. > > (wheezy is affected as well, version: 0.10+deb7u2) Look good to me. Should we try to get it into Jessie? I can't upload at the moment, so I hope someone can step up. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Should we try to get it into Jessie? Yes. And it would be good to get it into wheezy-updates as well. Actually, the error was noticed on a wheezy workstation. > I can't upload at the moment, so I hope someone can step up. :) Wolfgang signature.asc Description: Digital signature
