Re: [ubuntu-uk] Shutdown bug?
Yeah, it did used to notify people that there are more users logged in. If two or more users were logged in, a dialogue box used to appear requesting authentication to continue shutting down. If you clicked cancel on that dialogue, you used to be brought back to gdm. I haven't really used multiple users since 10.04/10.10 so have no experience of what might happen now, but it definitely used to have this now missing behaviour.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Shutdown bug?
I think it's by design. It used to shutdown regardless when users were logged in, but this isn't desirable for multi-user systems. Now, it wouldn't matter whether you tried to shutdown as the admin user or the normal user, as I understand it. It will only log you out until no more users are logged in. As Daniel said, you can force it with the right command. I guess it could be clearer that there is still someone logged in, and I believe this used to be clearer than it is with unity. Neil. P.S.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Shutdown bug?
Hi Andres, I have the same problem, so I will be monitoring this thread if anyone has any answers. What I did as a workaround was create a keyboard shortcut with "gksudo shutdown -h now" and it does the trick, just press the key combination, type my password and the system is on its way to a clean shutdown.

[ubuntu-uk] Shutdown bug?
Hi all, I do not know if this is a bug nor do i know how to call it to report it. And maybe it was reported. If I am logged in with one user(a) i then choose to open another user(b) without logging out of user(a). When logged in as (b) and tap shutdown button on my computer and the message apears to saying it will shut down in 60s. I choose shutdown. But it sends me to the log in screen with no feedback as to why i can not shut down. In the log in sceen i tap the power button once like befor but nothing happens. I then go to the top right and select shutdown and nothing happens. What i need to do is log into user (a) and shutdown from there. (A) is a normal user. (b) is admin group.-- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
