Attached is a patch that potentially fixes this issue. I cannot test it right now because I have yet to find a way to force update-manager to perform a restart action when the updated packages don't require one.
To apply it locally to the installed update-manager Python script: cd $HOME # download patch into user home directory cd /usr/share/pyshared sudo patch -p1 -i $HOME/01_update-manager_support_XFCE_shutdown.patch Now, next time update-manager offers the restart now/later dialog, and the user chooses "Now", the script should try and fail to connect to the Gnome session manager over Dbus and then try to connect to the XFCE session manager instead. ** Patch added: "For testing: potential fix that adds support for XFCE shutdowns" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44202853/01_update-manager_support_XFCE_shutdown.patch ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => TJ (intuitivenipple) ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Summary changed: - On Clean install after update restart didnt work. + Restart is not supported if not using gnome session manager (affects XFCE & KDE?) -- Restart is not supported if not using gnome session manager (affects XFCE & KDE?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530161 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
