Bug Description

update-notifier told me that there are new updates (including linux-kernel), after these packages got installed it told me that it wants to reboot the machine. after clicking on the reboot link gnome ends and x stands there forever, mouse can be moved but nothing else happens.

while going to a real console a 'shutdown -r now' does reboot the machine.

had this two times with dapper.

I've seem this too (but not in recent updates). If it happens again on a console can you do ps auxw > ~/reboothang.txt and then attach ~/reboothang.txt to this bug? If you happen to know which process is actually halting the logout using strace on it may give us more clues...

I have seen this as well, though I confess I haven't debugged it when it did happen. Desktop team, does this correspond to any known bugs?

Could this be related to the infamouse gnome_mixer2 bug? Has anyone seen it happen in an up to date dapper?

Can someone confirm that this is happening with a recently updated dapper (e.g. one that was updated on say the 20th May and then exhibited problem after that date?)

I'm sorry I've overseen this bug ... and I can not reproduce the issue on latest Dapper! :-)
