physical machine, NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430]

What's your client?

Area(s) with issue?

Session manager (sesman)

Steps to reproduce

Login and session resume works, however trying to logout fails, graphically as well as with command line.

✔️ Expected Behavior

It logs me out.

❌ Actual Behavior

.xsession-errors entry with

 (gnome-shell:559687): Gjs-WARNING **: 15:36:04.474: JS ERROR: Gio.DBusError: 
                  GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

When trying with gnome-session-quit

Only way to end the session is with pkill -9 -u $USER

Not sure if I selected the right Area for the issue and if this is not a bug in GNOME, however logout locally works.

Anything else?

Coincidentally I've just added a FAQ for this:-

https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/wiki/Tips-and-FAQ#why-cant-i-perform-some-privileged-gui-actions

[alexmyczko]

So I tried your tool https://github.com/matt335672/pk-local but even when enabled and all, GNOME user can not logout...

[matt335672]

Are the symptoms still the same as you describe above?

[alexmyczko]

@matt335672 yes exactly the same symptoms. no matter how well i look at pkaction and pkaction -a whatever -v I can't find a the right thing to enable logging out of GNOME without kill, gnome-session-quit fails too.

[matt335672]

Thanks for the clarification. I'll try to reproduce this on Debian 12.

[alexmyczko]

I've done some work on https://packages.debian.org/sid/xrdp if you also have a chance to test on Debian sid, that'd be great... if it works for you, it's probably some local configuration changes breaking it...

[matt335672]

Thanks. I'll start with vanilla 12.

Give me a while - we've got a priority job on at the moment.

Aha, this problem only exists if the user has

.xsession

with

exec gnome-shell

maybe because then there's no use-session-dbus from /etc/X11/Xsession.options?
