If I restart from the command-line, the Unity desktop goes away immediately: sudo reboot
However, if I restart from the "Gear Icon Menu", the Unity Desktop hangs for quite a while before exiting the Unity Desktop. Also, if I logout using this command, the Unity Desktop takes a while to exit too: gnome-session-quit So, is it the gnome-session related commands that take so long? If so, how can they be made to be much faster? ** Also affects: gnome-session Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074758 Title: Timely Logouts, Restarts, and Shutdowns with Unity Desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-session/+bug/1074758/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
