Public bug reported:
When a user is logged in to the Ubuntu desktop, a power button event
will cause the user to be prompted to choose if they'd like to proceed
with a shutdown. However, if the system is sitting at a greeter screen,
a power button event will instead attempt a suspend w/o prompting. This
is due to a different set of defaults for the greeter and the user:
For a logged-in desktop user, they
see:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
power-button-action 'interactive'
But the gdm user sees:
$ sudo machinectl shell gdm@ /bin/bash
Connected to the local host. Press ^] three times within 1s to exit session.
gdm:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power power-button-action
'suspend'
Changing the gdm user's setting to "interactive" using gsettings causes
the greeter to begin prompting, consistent with the logged in user
experience.
