[Pkg-lxde-maintainers] Bug#588092: Unable to shutdown or restart if su session is open

[Andrei Popescu]

Package: lxde-common
Version: 0.5.0-4
Severity: normal

Hello,

If I try to shutdown or restart while a su-to-root session is still open 
I get a window for 2-3 seconds like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

System policy prevents stopping the system when other users are logged 
in

An application is attempting to perform an action that requires 
privileges. Authentication as the superuser is required to perform this 
action

Password for root:_____________________

Details >

Action: org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop-multiple-users

Vendor: 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

and in syslog:

Jul  4 22:59:12 think polkitd(authority=local): Operator of unix-session:/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session3 FAILED to authenticate to gain authorization for action org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop-multiple-users for system-bus-name::1.42 [<unknown>] (owned by unix-user:amp)

Restarting or shutting down works if I close all su sessions first. I 
can provide more informations if needed.

Regards,
Andrei
