Package: gdm3 Version: 3.13.92-1 Severity: important
Hi. When gdm3 is restarted/stopped via it's init-script or systemd unit file, perhaps after an upgrade when e.g. needrestart defaults to restarting it, it doesn't handle this very gracefully, but rather kills any existing sessions including all programs of the user running in them (without any further question). Of course restart/stop should actually do a restart/stop, but that should be done more gracefully, especially. Perhaps giving a desktop notification, that asks the user to relogin ASAP. OTOH, a sysadmin should have a clean way to stop gdm and X via systemctl... so putting control in the user's hand isn't the best thing either. Any ideas how this could be handled properly? Cheers, Chris. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gdm3 depends on: ii accountsservice 0.6.37-3 ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii cinnamon [x-window-manager] 2.2.16-3 ii dconf-cli 0.22.0-1 ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.22.0-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.53 ii gir1.2-gdm3 3.13.92-1 ii gnome-session [x-session-manager] 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-session-bin 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-session-flashback [x-session-manager] 3.8.1-2 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.12.2-1+b2 ii gnome-shell 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 3.12.3-2 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.14.0-1 ii libaccountsservice0 0.6.37-3 ii libaudit1 1:2.4-1 ii libc6 2.19-11 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-2.1 ii libcanberra0 0.30-2.1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.30.8-1 ii libgdm1 3.13.92-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.0-1 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.42.0-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.14.0-1 ii libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpam-systemd 215-4 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii librsvg2-common 2.40.4-1 ii libselinux1 2.3-2 ii libsystemd0 215-4 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-25 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxau6 1:1.0.8-1 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.1-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.4.2-1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13 ii metacity [x-window-manager] 1:3.12.0-2 ii policykit-1 0.105-6.1 ii ucf 3.0030 ii x11-common 1:7.7+7 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7+3 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 311-1 Versions of packages gdm3 recommends: ii at-spi2-core 2.12.0-2 ii desktop-base 7.0.3 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.12.0-1 ii gnome-icon-theme-symbolic 3.12.0-1 ii x11-xkb-utils 7.7+1 ii xserver-xephyr 2:1.16.1-1 ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+7 ii zenity 3.14.0-1 Versions of packages gdm3 suggests: ii gnome-orca 3.12.2-1 ii libpam-gnome-keyring 3.14.0-1 -- Configuration Files: /etc/gdm3/greeter.gsettings [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/etc/gdm3/greeter.gsettings' -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
