When restart button pressed, the restart offers shutdown and restart

[Salih EMIN]

This is an implementation bug that I am pointing, and not a bug as described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1033226

When restart is needed, the offered option is a "Restart" button. What a user is waiting to happen is the system to restart. Instead, clicking the "Restart" button doesn't restart the system, instead it offers more options, like shutdown and restart.

What should have happened:

* Clicking "Restart" should immediately restart the system as the button suggests.

What is proposed :

* Clicking "Restart" should start a countdown (30 sec ?) indicating that the system will perform a restart
* The countdown window should offer a cancel button in case that the restart button was pressed by accident.

I am attaching a mock-up as I suggest that a count down should be presented when "Restart" is clicked.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

I too find it odd that clicking Restart in update-manager then asks me what I want to do.

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

This is a flaw in the old (but newly-implemented) design for the session dialogs. Restart and Shut Down are combined into a single dialog, like we used to do in 2011. This means that anything that requires confirmation of restart ends up oddly asking whether you want to shut down instead.

[Arthur Tan (artgtan)]

Is it possible to make the Restart/Shutdown dialog window highlighted with either "restart" or "shut down" depending on the previous action?

For example, if you clicked restart from an Update Manager dialog, then the Restart button on the left will be highlighted and you just hit Enter to complete the action. Similarly, if you clicked on a Shut Down option from the system menu, then the Shut Down button on the right would automatically be highlighted.

I think that system should just restart when user press the restart button form update-manager. No need to wait fr X seconds...

The actual behavior can make user think that Ubuntu is acting like win$ :

- user : "i click restart, cause i wan t my system t restart"
- computer : "ok, do you wan to restart or shutdown ?"
- user : "hum...maybe i'd like to restart, but i'm not sure now, wait... "
