[Bug 1429185] Re: Restart button in Additional Drivers does not restart Xubuntu

 

It sure would be nice if there was a convenient portable way to find out
how to reboot the desktop session with, say, "xdg-settings get desktop-
reboot-command"; but, alas, there isn't.

http://portland.freedesktop.org/xdg-utils-1.1.0-rc1/scripts/xdg-settings
looks like it would not be impossible to do, but I suspect that the
hurdle is not primarily technical.

Title:
  Restart button in Additional Drivers does not restart Xubuntu

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After changing a driver in Additional Drivers tab of Software &
  Updates, a message tells me a restart ('You need to restart the
  computer to complete the driver changes.') is needed and introduces a
  button to restart the system. This button does not seem to do anything
  in Xubuntu 14.04.2.

  Upon running software-properties-gtk through terminal and then
  clicking the restart button, these lines are printed:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 1091, in on_driver_restart_clicked
      subprocess.call(['gnome-session-quit', '--reboot'])
    File "/usr/lib/python3.4/subprocess.py", line 533, in call
      with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as p:
    File "/usr/lib/python3.4/subprocess.py", line 848, in __init__
      restore_signals, start_new_session)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.4/subprocess.py", line 1446, in _execute_child
      raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg)
  FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'gnome-session-quit'

  'gnome-session-quit' does not work on Xubuntu with a fresh install.
