GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 548488
gnome-session-remove no longer exists in 2.23.6
Last modified: 2020-10-30 14:32:09 UTC
Starting with new dbus rewrite of gnome-session, gnome-session-remove CLI tool no longer exists. I'm afraid it might be breaking some ISV tools (not 100% sure) and without it, there is no easy way to stop and remove a program for the running session.
Just for the record, not really the dbus work per se. It wasn't in trunk at all in 2.23 as far as I know.
Can anyone suggest a workaround for this? Especially regarding the removal of Metacity from the session.
Assuming that this problem is obsolete nowadays. If you can still reproduce this problem with a recent version (currently: 3.38) of GNOME / gnome-session, then please report this at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/ and follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines - thanks a lot!
