Public bug reported: [ Impact ]
Ubuntu Unity reliably takes 90 seconds to log out. This is due to the user-level gnome-session.service systemd unit not properly terminating gnome-session on logout. An attempt is made to send SIGTERM to the process, which gnome-session does not care about. Instead, gnome-session-quit should be invoked when the systemd unit shuts down, which acts effectively and immediately. [ Test Plan ] Actual behavior: 1. Log in to a Unity session on Ubuntu Unity 24.04. 2. Log out of Ubuntu Unity. 3. Observe that only the wallpaper is shown for 90 seconds prior to the login manager showing again. Expected behavior: 1. Log in to a Unity session on Ubuntu Unity 24.04. 2. Log out of Ubuntu Unity. 3. Observe that logging out takes a few seconds at most, and you are able to log back in as the same user, or a different one. [ Where problems could occur ] If the gnome-session or gnome-session-quit binaries change the arguments they accept by default, log in and log out functionality on Unity sessions are likely to break. Additionally, if lightdm or systemd changes in a non-reverse-compatible way, this increases the chance of a user-facing regression. ** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) Status: Confirmed ** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: High Assignee: Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) Status: Confirmed ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu Unity takes 90 seconds to log out + [SRU] Ubuntu Unity takes 90 seconds to log out ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) ** Also affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: High Assignee: Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) Status: Confirmed ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu Noble) Milestone: None => noble-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/2063383 Title: [SRU] Ubuntu Unity takes 90 seconds to log out To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/2063383/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
