Xubuntu 14.04 logs out instead of shutdown!

[FrankRamiro]

Hi guys : i've been having this shutdown issue,some times i click in the icon in the corner to shutdown it presents me with 4 solutions,log out, Restart,shutdown,suspend,i click on shutdown and it goes to logout menu, it seems it only happens on my Dell P4 32Bit, i have a Lenovo I5 Intel desktop with the same Xubuntu 14.04 except 64bit and it doesn't do that,
I've posted this before,no solution,has anybody encountered this issue and anybody has a solution?thanks in advance.

Have you tried using the guest account or setting up a new user and testing with it?
Also do the issue happen in a live environment?

I have the same issue sometimes with Kubuntu. (I think I had it in Xubuntu too) It's very random.

I do know that when I was running F@H it did it all the time, I had to stop running that or I could not properly shut down my machine. Only way to shut down was to console in as root and do a shutdown. I don't think it's good to do that on a GUI though as it's equivalent to an improper shutdown. (I think)

If any process is running as another user I think it refuses to shut down. It's quite an annoying "feature". I could see it being useful on a server platform but not on a workstation.

I'd be curious to know if there is a fix for this too.

Hi red ;what do you mean F@H?

Not to speak for the legendary Red S. but F@H is Folding at home, where you donate your computer "power" to help cure diseases. I did this for many months until my Asus melted down. http://folding.stanford.edu/home/
