Title:
ctrl-alt-delete is missing a reboot option in Unity Desktop
Status in Ayatana Design:
New
Status in Unity:
Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The Unity Desktop doesn't allow a user to reboot their computer by
hitting ctrl-alt-delete.
When ctrl-alt-delete his hit, only two options are provided:
- Lock
- Log out
This bugs is requesting that 4 more options be added to this menu:
- Reboot
- Shutdown
- System Monitor
- Command Prompt
Use Case:
Today I encountered a situation where I did not have a mouse-cursor
after logging into the Unity desktop. That bug is reported in detail
here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403287
Ultimately, I had to hit ctrl-alt-t to acquire a command prompt, and
type the command "sudo reboot" in order to reboot my computer.
The most widely familiar "first step" for dealing with a computer that
is either "locked up" or "missing a mouse cursor" is the Windows
tradition of hitting ctrl-alt-delete. The Unity desktop understands
ctrl-alt-delete, but offers a super limited menu of options after the
user hits ctrl-alt-delete.
Additionally, keep this mind: Although most menus are accessible (in
Unity) via the keyboard, the little gear icon (top-right: used to
reboot your computer) is NOT intuitively accessible via the keyboard.
Furthermore, the unity dash should understand what "REBOOT" or
"SHUTDOWN" means! I'm not saying that the unity dash should restart
you computer when you type restart or reboot there, but it should at
least offer the option of doing so after such things are typed.
