Why are you talking about notifications and password prompts, the computer should shut down (by default) of course! It could prompt and say "X is logged in, are you really sure you want to shut down?" but nothing more. If an admin wants to disable it there should be a way to do that instead. Let's say I'm logged in but I'm not at home and my wife wants to shut down the computer. Of course she should be allowed to!
Therefore I think setting org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop- multiple-users to allow_active=yes is a great and correct solution. What's missing there is a local override solution so and admin of a multi-seat server could turn it off for example without having it overwritten everytime policykit updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861171 Title: Shutdown from greeter does nothing when multiple accounts open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-session/+bug/861171/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
