Restart, log out and shutdown stops with error:

loginwindow[66]: ERROR | -[SessionLogoutManager startLogout:logoutSubType:showConfirmationUI:count DownTime:useTALOption:logoutO ptions:] | Attempt to start a: Restart, AFTER a Restart was already past the point where logout can change types

Have to use power button to restart, really afraid about corruption of data/session and hate this workaround!

Installed fresh Yosemite 10.10.3 on my MacBook Pro Retina 15 mid 2014 - started to install programs and this error!

It doesn't happen only for Restart commands issued from the Apple menu though. It is also happening with Shutdown & Logout commands.
The Finder freezes and the menu bar & desktop icons disappear.
The Dock & Spotlight still works.

Finder can't be Force-quit/Relaunched. It totally ignores the command.
If you run any other app (using the Dock, Spotlight or Alfred) the menu bar of this app appears and so does the Apple menu along with it.
But re-issuing Restart, Shutdown or Logout commands using it, does absolutely nothing more than adding more loginwindow ERROR log entries in the Console.
These Console log - They just say "Attempt to start a: Restart" or "Attempt to start a: Shutdown" or "Attempt to start a: Logout" respectively.

The only way to shutdown my computer (not that forcefully as the keyboard shortcuts do) is to use the Terminal.
sudo shutdown -r now
(-r for restart or -h for shutdown).

Also note that if you Apple menu -> Restart almost immediately after you login to the system, then it is working fine.
But if you start working and then try again after some time has passed the problem repeats.

Mavericks restarted fine.

Please, help! :banghead:


MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
 
Same problem here.

My specs:
i7 4.3 Ghz
32GB Tactical
Z97X-UD7-TH
GeForce 740

Bootloader Chimera. Installed via UniBeast.

It reboots or shuts down once every 10 times.

Also, system loads ONLY without cache.

I've been looking through the forum to find the right thread with similar specs. Any pointers please?
 
Did either of you buys find a solution?
 
Hi georgefetcher, did you ever find a fix for this issue? I look after about 30 Macs and I have recently upgraded them all to Yosemite. Three of these users can no longer shut down their Macs at the end of the day. Although like you, they can shut down for a time after first starting up. I've not seen the error message you get though.

It may be a coincidence, but they all run Adobe Creative Cloud and Font Agent Pro. Do you use any of these applications?

The other common factor is that they connect to a Windows 2012 SMB share. Two of them have laptops and when the take them out of the office, they can shut down their Macs, so I believe the shared volume is a factor in this. They also get an error about the shared volume being in use, but there are no files open. Force quitting the Finder locks the machine up.
