I still have this or a similar issue with today's Karmic. If I choose 'shutdown' from the session menu, I am logged out, but the computer does not shut down.
In the daemon.log, I get the following message: Oct 27 23:26:02 purple gnome-session[1849]: WARNING: Unable to stop system: Not privileged for action: org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop no So it seems to be an issue with permissions inside gnome. Not sure where to change the setting, though. Any ideas? consolekit version: 0.3.1-0ubuntu2 gnome-session: 2.28.0-0ubuntu5 -- shutdown menu immediately logs out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
