42.1/TW: Turn off "Shut down" - can not be reversed

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi!

I tried this both on 42.1 and TW (my 42.2 did not come back after updating to RC yesterday):

  • Via “Settings” -> “System settings” -> “Start up and shut down” -> “Desktop session”

I disabled “Offer shutdown options” and, as expected, the icons for Shutdown etc. disappeared. However, when checking this option again and clicking “Apply” the icons never come back. Only way to shut down is via console.

Any idea how to bring the icons back?

Have a look at this section in ~/.config/ksmserverrc

[General]confirmLogout=true
excludeApps=
loginMode=default
offerShutdown=true
screenCount=1
shutdownType=2

Hi!

I have here:

[General]
confirmLogout=true
excludeApps=
loginMode=restorePreviousLogout
offerShutdown=true
screenCount=1
shutdownType=2

…but still no icons in Application Menu. But if I choose “Log out” from there, in the next screen I am able to switch to “Reboot” or “Shutdown”, so not that problematic. Anyhow, would be nice to have my icons back :slight_smile:

PS: In 42.1 there is no option to switch from Logout to Reboot or Shutdown in the screen appearing when choosing Logout, so effectively I have to open a console and run as root “shutdown -h now” or “reboot” to manage the machine. Very strange.
