>From my myopic (server-oriented) point-of-view, changing the default
in 20.04 to prompt is a good idea. I've found that users often install
Ubuntu Desktop on their server-class hardware, using their BMC virtual
KVM as a head. These systems tend to support suspend, but suspend
rarely works well. Some systems will go to sleep just fine - but have
no way to wake them up[*]. Others will try to suspend, only to
immediately come back out of suspend (presumably after trying to sleep
a device that doesn't support it), so it looks like the system failed
to react at all. Both seem like a non-intuitive reaction to an "IPMI
power off soft" command.

Title:
  power-button action inconsistent between user session and greeter

Bug description:
  When a user is logged in to the Ubuntu desktop, a power button event
  will cause the user to be prompted to choose if they'd like to proceed
  with a shutdown. However, if the system is sitting at a greeter
  screen, a power button event will instead attempt a suspend w/o
  prompting. This is due to a different set of defaults for the greeter
  and the user:

  For a logged-in desktop user, they
  see:

  $ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
  power-button-action 'interactive'

  But the gdm user sees:
  $ sudo machinectl shell gdm@ /bin/bash
  Connected to the local host. Press ^] three times within 1s to exit session.
  gdm:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power 
power-button-action
  'suspend'

  Changing the gdm user's setting to "interactive" using gsettings
  causes the greeter to begin prompting, consistent with the logged in
  user experience.
