Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

1) start from the live-CD
2) let it continue until the graphical Welcome screen, you will notice 2 icons at the top-left corner of the screen, including a "Shutdown" icon
3) Click on the shutdown icon, then select "Shutdown" or "Restart" or "Log out"
4) A confirmation pop-up appears, confirm.
5) these 3 options don't work (Expected behavior : the computer shuts down, or restarts, or log out.)

Remarks :
-the "Lock screen" is also useless, it just makes the screen become black.
-i could reproduce also in VirtualBox.

This is because the gtk-logout-helper process cannot currently talk to ConsoleKit over DBus.

If gtk-logout-helper is launched from the applet, the error from dbus_g_proxy_call is "Not Authorized".
If it's launched from a terminal window, it appears to work properly.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Improve the text on the prepare page, based on input from Matthew
    Paul Thomas, Amanda Brock, and Andrew Sinclair
    (LP: #635269, LP: #635260).
  * Translate latitude and longitude from the Geonames service to its
    respective Olsen timezone database entry.
  * Add back the hostname entry (LP: #628087).
  * Use a block device icon for cases where we cannot detect the
    operating system on a partition.
  * Set the amount of used space on a partition that we presume contains
    no operating system (LP: #626299).
  * Make requiring a password to log in the default again, matching the
    behavior in the previous version of Ubuntu.
  * Use the correct string for the resize partition option.
  * Set the size of the disk on the automatic partitioning page
    (LP: #626299).
  * Use dmidecode to get a more unique suffix for the hostname
    (LP: #628087).
  * Also generate a sample hostname when generating a sample username
    (LP: #634279).
  * Only set the next button to 'Install Now' when not on the first
    partitioning page (LP: #636392).
  * Fix transposed latitude and longitude in geonames lookup.
  * Provide a version parameter to the geoname lookup.
  * Show the number of partitions that will be deleted when in 'use
    entire disk' mode.
  * Remove Pango markup from the debconf templates where possible.
  * Properly set the partition widget description label.
  * Use a GtkMenuBar rather than a GtkMenu as the source of the dark
    styling to match recent changes to the default theme.
  * Properly start a ConsoleKit session (LP: #631538).
  * Fix the spacing on the automatic partitioning page.
    gui/gtk/stepPartAuto.ui
  * Correct layout based on suggestions from Matthew Paul Thomas.
  * Correct layout on keyboard guesser.
  * Run the Jockey backend with an in-memory debconf database, and run
    the frontend asynchronously (LP: #627822).
  * Don't show the GTK frontend until it's done constructing the UI.
  * Show a spinning cursor on the X root window in addition to the
    ubiquity window, so it's clear that the installer is loading the
    next page even when the cursor is off the main window.
  * Make return_to_partitioning work with parallel debconf instances
    (LP: #637706).
  * Added a Windows icon for the resize widget. Thanks Otto Greenslade!
  * Disable the alpha warning, albeit late.
  * Add a command line option to not install a bootloader
    (-b, --no-bootloader) (LP: #615033).
  * Do not show 'free space' partitions in the bootloader target
    combobox (LP: #615033).
  * Meet the Geonames.org CC license requirements by adding 'Geonames.org'
    to the map.
  * Install the restricted package independent of the apt-installed
    packages, since those are installed with just the live CD's
    sources.list (LP: #638073).
  * Disable the wireless plugin for now. It's not ready for release.
  * Make use of the new connectivity check page.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup
    1:0.45ubuntu2, hw-detect 1.73ubuntu5.

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Restore the functionality of the noninteractive frontend.
  * Disable GVFS fuse dae...
