Tomboy causing delay on logout or shutdown

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Can confirm this for x86_64 architecture too.

The problem might be more noticeable when one uses Ubuntu One synchronisation.

Not using Ubuntu One sync here and the problem is perfectly repeatable. Leave Tomboy running and logout takes around 30 seconds longer to logout.

I can reproduce this even with a freshly created user. After starting tomboy, logging out takes almost 30 seconds

I can confirm this using latest Oneiric Ocelot and Unity. I've searched for bugs upstream but could not find anything. Anybody can try if it is reproducible in Unity 2D or gnome-shell?

It is reproducible in Unity 2D. I doubt it is anything to do with the window manager.

@colin-law, it is strange it is not reported upstream, it looks like something related to Unity to me.

@Walter, apparently not as it is also seen with Unity2d

It is also reproducible in “Gnome” and “Gnome classic”. As supposed by Colin Law, seems to have no relationship with the window manager.

OK, thanks I filed a bug upstram, Gnome bugzilla 880299.

Sorry, I meant Gnome Bugzilla 663422.

Thanks Rene, I've updated the link to the upstream bug.

I checked dbus messages of gnome session manager and it seems tomboy doesn't take action in response to Stop signal of session manager.

I add Stop signal callback in Tomboy and it solve the issue.

I unsubscribed sponsors as the patch is being discussed on bugzilla. When something gets committed we'll get it in Ubuntu then. Thanks for the work so far!

This bug was fixed in the package tomboy - 1.8.0-1ubuntu1.2

---------------
tomboy (1.8.0-1ubuntu1.2) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/git_logout_delay.patch: upstream fix, should fix the issue
    where tomboy is delaying the session logout (lp: #880299)

May I suggest backporting the fix as an SRU to Oneiric, where tomboy is installed by default?

I second the suggestion of backporting the fix. There is no version difference between Oneiric and Precise packages for Tomboy except for this patch. Thus there is no reason not to backport.

SRU request for Ubuntu 11.10:

Impact: the bug affects all users using tomboy which is a default application in 11.10.

Development fix: This bug was fixed in the package tomboy - 1.8.0-1ubuntu1.2 according to the upstream bug.

Stable fix: It shouls be easy to apply the patch as the version number of Tomboy is the current one in 11.10.

Test Case: open Tomboy and log out or quit the desktop session (Unity or Gnome Shell). The logout is delayed by about 30 seconds.

Regression Potential: none predicted.

Hello Colin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted tomboy into oneiric-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Updated as suggested to tomboy version 1.8.0 -> fixed. No adverse side effects so far. Thanks a lot.

I've updated Tomboy to version 1.8.0-1ubuntu1.1.1 from oneiric-proposed as well. The delay when logging out is gone. Everything works like expected!

This bug was fixed in the package tomboy - 1.8.0-1ubuntu1.1.1

  * Change version number to 1.8.0-1ubuntu1.1.1 to avoid conflicting
    with Precise's 1.8.0-1ubuntu1.2 (which should have been -1ubuntu2)
