This looks more like an issue with indicator-session, or at least indicator-session getting confused about which Unity is running.
indicator-session is detecting Unity is running. It assumes then that gnome-session is running and tries to make some DBus calls to it. However, in Unity 8, gnome-session is not running, so the DBus calls fail. The callback checks the response from DBus, sees the failure, and upon failure, always signals to display the logout dialog regardless of what type of session request was done, ie, shutdown or reboot. Marking indicator-session as affected and will work on some solution. ** Also affects: indicator-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1392187 Title: the "Log out" and "Shut down" menu show the same Log-Out dialog Status in indicator-session package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in unity8-desktop-session package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: the "Log out" and "Shut down" menu show the same Log-Out dialog, and when confirmed to log out or shut down, they all just go back to greeter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-session/+bug/1392187/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
