hi all,

Since latest update of gnome 3.4, I can't login through gdm because, then, I have no single glyph or font displayed on my desktop in menu or application (but not the qt ones) So, I found the work around to switch to tty2 and login and run startx and all is fine in my desktop. The fonts are back. No idea what this bug is about !

Anyway, my problem is: When I shutdown the PC from gnome desktop, I end up on tty2 console, and nothing is happening there i.e. no shutdown. I have to switch back manually to tty1 so that the shutdown procedure begins or continues.

Any idea why systemd fails like that ? or gnome ?

So, you have 2 X servers running? In this case, what is the tty the 2nd one is running at? -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

Since you are not using gdm to login anyway, try disabling it from automatically starting (systemctl disable gdm), and login using tty. Then atleast the gdm running on the other tty will not hold the shutdown sequence. -- Srijan Choudhary http://www.srijn.net/
