Subject: xfce4-panel: after upgrade "logout" button broken: org.xfce.SessionManager not in any .service file

Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2011 12:02:05 +0100

Package: xfce4-panel
Version: 4.6.4-1
Severity: normal

I just upgrades xfce from 4.4.2.1 to 4.6.2.

Now the "Log Out" button does not work anymore; it says:
 Failed to receive a reply from the session manager

 The name org.xfce.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

It is very well possible that I made another xfce upgrade before that
one and never logged out since then. (About 78 days.)

Make sure you have a fully upgraded Squeeze. Does the situation persist
accross reboot?

I do, plus some bits from sid.

> Does the situation persist accross reboot?

No, it does not.

Also: first login from GDM complains that my default session
(something like xfce-session4.desktop) "is not installed on this
computer". I have to reselect "Xfce session" from the choices, and
then it works.

Ok, transient issue. Did you do the upgrade from the Xfce desktop?

I guess that's why. It's unfortunate but there's not much we can do
(besides warning that upgrading from the desktop environment is usually
not a good idea). Once you remove xfce4-session 4.4 and it's still
running, it won't really behaves well.
