Happens with systemctl poweroff/reboot. Steps to reproduce: 1) have more than one user logged in 2) systemctl poweroff 3) polkit will ask you for authentication, wait instead of typing password Result: dbus errors, then broadcast message about power-off, although nothing happens (pc will not power-off) Output: $ systemctl poweroff ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-multiple-sessions === Authentication is required for powering off the system while other users are logged in. Authenticating as: vandrus Password: Failed to issue method call: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. Failed to issue method call: Access denied Broadcast message from vandrus@hollo on pts/0 (Tue, 2012-12-11 11:23:23 CET): The system is going down for power-off NOW! polkit-agent-helper-1: pam_authenticate failed: Conversation error All these messages (except for the final fake broadcast message that does not happen in systemd 208 at least) are expected.. I agree that a nicer message should be displayed though. Yeah, the polkit conversation and the bus calls will timeout. This is intended that way. CLosing. |
