Still trying to debug the issue. Reading this thread: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638924 made me think that the "Unregistered Authentication" error that I get might be due to X crashing. So I played the same game with looking at the log at every step, but this time I focused on the Xorg log. When the gnome shell crashes, this is what I see: 341a342,350
[ 312.083] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "DFP-0:nvidia-auto-select" [ 312.138] (II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI: failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon; the daemon [ 312.138] (II) NVIDIA(0): may not be running or the "AcpidSocketPath" X [ 312.138] (II) NVIDIA(0): configuration option may not be set correctly. When the [ 312.138] (II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI event daemon is available, the NVIDIA X driver will [ 312.138] (II) NVIDIA(0): try to use it to receive ACPI event notifications. For [ 312.138] (II) NVIDIA(0): details, please see the "ConnectToAcpid" and [ 312.138] (II) NVIDIA(0): "AcpidSocketPath" X configuration options in Appendix B: X [ 312.138] (II) NVIDIA(0): Config Options in the README.
I will continue debugging and keep you updated.... Valerio On Wed, May 1, 2013 at 11:53 AM, Valerio Mariani <valerio.mariani@gmail.com> wrote:
Dear Adam, thanks for taking time to test. I tried again this morning and it crashed. Now, I am trying again to diagnose the problem, which does not always happen. Here is what I did:
1) Logged in as user 1 2) Selected 'Switch User', it opens a new gdm scrren on tty3 (tty2 was already opened by me manually) 3) Login as user2 4) Selected 'Switch User', it opens a new gdm screen on tty4 5) Go to tty3, using ctrl+alt+f3, and notice that the shell for user 2 has crashed.
I took a snapshot of the systemd-journal at every step. Here is a diff of the snapshots between 4 and 5:

It is clear that the 'Log Out' message comes from the fact that the gnome shell has crashed. I think this is the moment where it has crashed:
polkitd[625]: Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-session:5 (system bus name :1.155, object path /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8) (disconnected from bus)
May 01 11:26:58 linux-3xop.site gnome-session[1899]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 5 May 01 11:26:58 linux-3xop.site gnome-session[1899]: WARNING: App 'gnome-shell.desktop' respawning too quickly
So, I think the problem might be related to polkitd. Actually, this problem has been reported on other distros too, for other versions of gnome. For example:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1-gnome/+bug/970897
However, I have no idea how to fix the problem
