** Description changed: - We have had reports going back to 13.10 that gnome-shell extensions are - disabled after restart (LP: #1236749), I've only just managed to - reproduce this and have discovered that gnome-session is not shutting - down cleanly. + [Impact] + We have had reports going back to 13.10 that gnome-shell extensions are disabled after restart (LP: #1236749), this has probably been our #1 unresolved bug for the last few cycles. While this is the main user visible bug probably other bugs caused by this for example (BGO: #745707) - Basically, X gets shutdown, which causes gnome-shell to abort, following - this gnome-session tries to respawn gnome-shell which fails and due to - this failure disables all shell extensions. I don't know enough about - upstart to really understand what is going on but it appears this also - affects unity and it just hasnt been noticed since there are probably no - such side-effects happening there. + The cause was tracked down to gnome-session not shutting down cleanly + under upstart. Although the underlying issue seems to be the order in + which upstart takes down the various components in a user session, the + side-effects themselves appear to be caused by gnome-session continuing + to run when it should in fact be shutdown - Filing this against upstart since this is not reproducible when using - systemd init, though it may well be a bug in gnome-session, but related - to upstart user sessions. + The fix updates the 103_kill_the_fail_whale.patch to force shutdown of + gnome-session.
