Power commands should be availiable from unity menu

[Andrew Bolster]

Binary package hint: unity

Commands such as Shutdown, restart, suspend, and hibernate should be available from the unity menu for UI consistency compared to Gnome.

What do you mean by the Unity menu, Andrew?

[Andrew Bolster (bolster)]

Forgive my poor explanation. As in when I *window-key* into the unity panel where I can type the application I want to run ( a la gnome-do), I should be able to type 'shutdown' to get the machine to... shutdown.

[Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl)]

OK. This is a fine suggestion, but not something we can focus on for Natty.

Andrew: as a work-around for the moment, instead of:

  1. <Super>
  2. shutdown [enter]

you should be able to do:

  1. Alt-F2
  2. shutdown [enter]

Sounds about right; thank you for your responses. I guess the same response should be met to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/744312 (Same 'bug', but related to drive mounts instead of power options)

The issue got fixed in Oneiric
