[SOLVED] Newer Linuxdesktop like Ubuntu 14.04 wait, and do not shutdown, by webinterface

[fireon]

Hello,

i've installed new Ubuntu 14.04 as KVM guest. When i click shutdown in the Proxmox Webinterface, Ubuntu ask me what i would like to do and the guest does not shutdown. Is there a new special configuration?

Best Regards

Inside the KVM guest, make sure acpid is installed:

# apt-get install acpid

Have you installed the meta package linux-image-virtual?

It works with lubuntu-14.04. Maybe look into default settings for handling various events like pressing power button etc. It could very well be that default automatic shutdown behavior is standby mode or something else which fails.

Found something:

gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.session suppress-logout-restart-shutdown true

but this works only when "this" user is loged in on the Desktop. Then it displays an 60 seconds countdown.

Interessting thing. I tested an xubuntu Desktop and it works out of the box. So I'am little bit confused, because xubuntu use also lightdm. The next thing is, older Ubuntu 12.04 Installations at customer have the same problem, shutdown over proxmox does not work anymore. Same like 14.04, so i think there installed same new features I've tested some workarounds:

KDM --> Shutdown works out of the box, but when i would like to login in Unity i get only a blank screen...
GDM --> same problem

Another workaround is to set shutdownoption with gnome tweak. But what I'am triying to test, alway an user must still login.... i don't know what is here really the problem.

I've tested this mit plain KVM on an Gentoo. Same results. Same results also with CentOS as guest in Version 6, Version 7 not tested.

With qemu-guest-agent it is working on every linux and every desktop out of the box.
