[Bug 592434] Re: ssh -X user at machine hangs when using exit to terminate

[Bryan Quigley]

I've given up on it for now.. it requires substancial changes and is a
quasi-design flaw with dbus.

I am curious (- I haven't checked) what happens with the switch to
sdbus/kdbus.

Eventually it might be worthwhile to actually have dbus start and manage
your ssh session (the server side only of course) and then everything
should might work fine, then you can have bash as a systemd managed user
job.

Title:
  ssh -X user at machine hangs when using exit to terminate

Status in D-Bus:
  Confirmed
Status in dbus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  ssh -X user at server hangs when using exit to terminate

  Steps to reproduce:
  user at client:~$ ssh -X user at server
  user at server:~$ gedit

  At this point gedit from server will run locally. Closing the program
  and returning to the terminal you run:

  user at server:~$ exit
  logout

  At this point the terminal hangs on the echo logout, but does not return to the client prompt. The action has been consistent when connecting to a server running opensolaris or ubuntu 8.04.
  The client is using Ubuntu 10.04 and the server is using 8.04, and using default password authentication. As you will see in the video attached I can confirm the issue when using a clean Ubuntu 10.04 as a client and Ubuntu 8.04 as the server, using default password authentication.

  Workaround
  ----------
  -When logging out with "exit" and it hangs, press Ctrl-C
  -If you would like to simply use gedit on another computer use the following command:
    $ dbus-launch gedit
