** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #763148 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763148 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553576 Title: Suspending on login screen removes "Shutdown" button from menu Status in Ubuntu GNOME: New Status in gdm package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On the login screen (I am not talking about the locked screen) if you click the menu it looks like this: LoginScreenShutdownButtonAvailable.png This is how it should look on the login screen. However if you then suspend before logging in (I just close the lid of my laptop), when you wake it back up again the menu treats it as though you are on the locked screen where there is no shutdown button rather than on the login screen where is one: LoginScreenShutdownButtonNotAvailable.png And this is rather annoying because if you don't have the login password or decide you want to shutdown without first logging, you can't and may be forced to do a hard shutdown. --- OS Information: No LSB modules are available.
