Hello, here's what I did on my Xubuntu installation that seems to work: In this file: /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/lightdm/
In line 27, in a default installation, it reads: show-indicators=power;~session;~language;~a11y;~power; Remove the first "power" entry, leaving only the built-in indicators: show-indicators=~session;~language;~a11y;~power; Save the file, and any subsequent lock screens and the processes they spawn should now exit properly upon screen unlock. I can't say for sure why it solves the issue on my Xubuntu, but I suspect that trying to include two power indicators might cause one or the other to prevent lightdm's indicator services instance from properly terminating. Can you see if this solves the issue on your computers? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1322275 Title: lightdm sessions started by dm-tool lock (or a session locker) never get closed Status in Light Display Manager: New Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: dm-tool lock starts a new lightdm greeter (for unlocking) and a new logind session.
