Re: Showing rebooting notifications in lightdm / unity greeter

 We use the reboot-required file and the freedesktop notification

 Users have requested that we show a notice at login time (before they
 login and start working.) Does anyone know if such a notification is
 feasible in the Greeter interface?


Notifications do work during greeter (at least in quantal and up)
E.g. network indicator can show connected/not-connected bubble.

I do wonder if one can add a custom indicator indicating that restart
is required. Or have the system cog go read and say restart required
there.

I guess somebody on unity-design mailing list might know better than me.
