Title: Cannot reboot or shutdown system Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This usually occurs if two users have been logged on to the system via X, even if one has logged out. Select "reboot" or "shutdown" from the power icon and the whole screen locks up. It does attempt to log out but it simply fails. Nothing happens. Cannot CTRL or CTRL+ALT to another VT and have to SSH from my Android phone to issue a sudo reboot or sudo shutdown.
