The previous edit to "What should happen" was in error. Since Ubuntu 12.10 the system menu does not refer to updates at all; that's exclusively the domain of the Log Out dialog.
** Description changed: Problem occurs in: unity 6.12.0daily13.03.13.1-0ubuntu1, indicator- session 12.10.5daily13.03.08-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu R Does not occur in: Ubuntu 12.10 1. Install updates that require restarting the computer to complete installation. 2. From the system menu, choose "Log Out...". What happens: The Log out dialog appears as normal. - What should happen: - - the system menu icon should be coloured red - - a 'Restart...' option in red text should appear in the system menu (this option should only appear in the system menu in this specific case, normally it should be hidden) - - If a user clicks the "Restart..." or "Shutdown..." options the new shutdown dialogue should be displayed with the following text "Hi [username], please restart to finish the update." - - If the user also has unsaved files open, the message should be ""Hi [username], please restart to finish the update. Before restarting you may want to save the files that are currently open" + What should happen: The Log Out dialog has secondary text, “Some updates + won’t apply until the computer next restarts.", and has a "Restart + Instead" button. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SessionHandling#Log_Out> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-session in Ubuntu.
