Bug#619153: gdm3: Fails to reboot

[Fabian Greffrath]

Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.5-8
Severity: normal

Hi,

gdm3 fails to reboot my system, or let's say, my system fails to reboot if it
is triggered by gdm3.

All services seem to get shut down properly, I see tty1 and the last message is
something like "[xxx.yyyyyy] Rebooting system." and then nothing happens, the
system simply does not reboot. If I trigger the reboot manually by running
"reboot" as root from tty1, it succeeds.

 - Fabian
