[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Paul, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into eoan-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/242-7ubuntu3.2
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-eoan to verification-done-eoan. If it does not fix
the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag
to verification-failed-eoan. In either case, without details of your
testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)

Title:
  Unable to shutdown or restart from log-in screen

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd source package in Eoan:
  Fix Committed
Status in systemd source package in Focal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Shutdown and restart options don't work from the login screen, when
  the user is not logged in.

  [Test Case]

   * Start the system and don't log in, or log out in case the system is set up with autologin.
   * Restart, then shut down the system using the option in the upper right corner of the login screen.
   * Observe both operations working.

  [Regression Potential]

   * The fix is treating treating the greeter as user display sessions
  by cherry-picking upstream's change released in v243. The fix itself
  is very small, but there may be non-obvious security implications.

  [Original Bug Text]

  When selecting the shutdown icon from the log-in screen you are
  prompted with a dialog that allows you to either cancel, restart or
  shutdown.

  It has been noted that the restart and shutdown options no longer
  work.
