Public bug reported: Ptyxis on 26.04 introduced new feature from upstream https://gitlab.gnome.org/chergert/ptyxis/-/merge_requests/123#note_2569421
The ptyxis will create a systemd inhibitor to block shutdown process from all users including privileged users. Step to reproduce: 1. Launch a ptyxis terminal 2. run a random foreground command such as "less or top" 3. observe result of command "systemd-inhibitor --list" as below to confirm a inhibitor been created user 1000 user 4811 gnome-session-s shutdown user session inhibited block 4. trigger a critical thermal zone by following command in a root console "echo 200000 > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/emul_temp" Please note that the critical temperature may be varied per OEM bios setup Expected result: The system should perform emergency shutdown immediately due to critical temperature Actual result: System stays up and running, and following kernel message appears kernel: thermal thermal_zone0: acpitz: critical temperature reached kernel: reboot: HARDWARE PROTECTION shutdown (Temperature too high) Summary: The system inhibitor created by Ptyxis should not block emergency shutdown or from a privileged user. Although there is a configuration to turn of the ptyxis behavior not to create a system inhibitor, however this is not current default setting. Potential fix: [1] The default setting on Fedora is now set to false not to create systemd inhibitor https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/cant-shutdown-with-systemctl-command-anymore/189839 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 26.04 Package: ptyxis 50.1-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 7.0.0-38.38-generic 7.0.14 Uname: Linux 7.0.0-38-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs ApportVersion: 2.34.1-0ubuntu0.1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass Date: Tue Oct 20 11:45:40 2026 InstallationDate: Installed on 2026-07-06 (106 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 26.04 "Resolute Raccoon" - Release amd64 (20260423.1) SourcePackage: ptyxis UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: ptyxis (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug resolute -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2171467 Title: Ptyxis inhibitor blocks system emergency shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ptyxis/+bug/2171467/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
