well, it will say that there is another shutdown running... But it all works ok if I cancel a scheduled shutdown (by using "sudo shutdown -c"). Btw, would you tell me how to make the shutdown button point to a custom script? It could use the following script:
#!/bin/bash shutdown -c shutdown -h now "GDM Shutdown" (for restart we use: shutdown -r now "GDM Restart") Kthx ** Description changed: - Sorry for the lack of specification of the package... :( I don't how it - calls... + Sorry for the lack of specification of the package... :( I don't know + how it calls... I use my PC at night to leave my apache server running. To shutdown the computer at 08:55, I use 'sudo shutdown -h 08:55' in the shell. This way, I avoid the use of another packages, saving precious disk space. But when the shutdown is scheduled with this command, and for some reason I want to turn it off before its due time, my instinct is to go to the System Menu -> Quit, and then Shut Down. But when I do this, the computer falls back to the GDM. But if I want to shutdown the computer via System Menu -> Quit, I have to issue in the shell 'sudo shutdown -c', to cancel the scheduled shutdown, so I can shut it down via GDM... My "solution" for this problem is to cancel the scheduled shutdowns, before the system shutdown routines begin, when the System Menu -> Quit -> Shut Down is done... Thank's for the reading, and I hope I could explain myself well :-) -- GDM shutdown falls back to GDM, if the 'sudo shutdown -h HH:MM' is used in the shell https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250659 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
