Shutdown cannot be canceled

[Jussi Lind]

This happens on my hardware:

1) Push the physical power button
2) Observe that the shutdown menu opens
3) Wait a couple of seconds
4) Observe that the machine shuts down by itself

What should happen:

1) Push the physical power button
2) Observe that the shutdown menu opens
3) Observe that nothing happens if user doesn't select anything

Should be a gnome-session bug.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is that still an issue? Isn't the dialog warning that it's going to shutdown?

[Jussi Lind (jussi-lind)]

It seems that this bug was originally about Ubuntu 14.04.

I now tested that on Ubuntu 18.04 this works like it should. The shutdown can be canceled and in addition there's an info text saying that the machine will automatically shut down in 60 secs.

This bug can be closed.
