Use case 2: Thunderstorm closes in but you left PC running. Family member / coworker / etc wants to turn it off, but ooops - need a password to unlock X... you wait for thunderstorm or hard-power-off again. Here, also adding a Power Off button to the password query would be nice.
Please don't do this. At the very least, if you have to, hide it in gdm, so you only get to it after switching user. If you have a kid (or whoever) coming along and pressing buttons, on a locked screen, it really shouldn't cause permanent session damage to the computer. A locked screen is designed so that the user's session can't be changed, until it gets unlocked again. As for the rest, it already shuts down after 60 seconds anyway. -- logout box + no way to kill computer = data corruption https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
