How did you confirmed this? Calling the dbus-send in the live session does nothing for me……

I have to admit that I have not tested this in an installer session. I am sorry.

@ryonakano I tested it in demo mode yesterday just like that. Dunno why that didn't work for you 🤔

Hmm, after I trigger the logout dialog from Wingpanel, both gnome-session-quit and dbus-send began to work as expected:

I just booted the latest daily and it does show the log out dialog here when clicking the installer launcher

I have tested the behavior with elementaryos-8.0-daily.20241003.iso and elementaryos-8.0-daily.20241004.iso. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm that the behavior works as desired.

My behavior is the same as @ryonakano's.

However, when I enter gnome-session logout in Terminal, I am immediately logged out without a dialog. Can you confirm this behavior? Could this be the right command?

I can confirm that behavior, but on OS 7 the logout dialog is prompt before actual logout

Just FYI gnome-session-quit --no-prompt will log out instantly without going the route via the session manager and therefore wingpanel or anything. If all else fails this might be the most robust way.
At least that's how it works in the normal session not sure whether anything changes here but I guess it shouldn't?
