Me too I have this problem on maverick. When I try to launch gshutdown in a terminal, it launch, but write it:
** (gshutdown:8860): WARNING **: Failed to establish a connection with GDM: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type I only selected the last line, cause I really think it's the problem. @koukourikos : with your solution, does it mean that everyone can use the command shutdown ? What about the security in this case ? Isn't it more secure to launch gshutdown in sudo : I mean use the command gskudo gshutdown or sudo gshutdown ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122636 Title: Gshutdown closes gnome session but does not shutdown down -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
