Thanks for the answer, Sebastien. You don't have to sorry, it's a pleassure to speak with you. What I'm trying to tell is that ubuntu and gnome developers don't know who or where those 1% people can be. Maybe I'm the 1% of a lot of removed options, I gave you those examples for a reason.
- There's a computer room in my University with old PC's that don't work fine with Unity, I'm pretty sure that I've tested automatically login in Unity-2D and didn't work, it always started in Unity, so I believe that I have to edit a file to solve this problem. However I've just tested in my own PC and you're right, the automatic login respects the last desktop udes. Maybe I did something wrong when I tested, maybe a recent update changed this. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that it works. Thank you so much for your comment, I have one less problem for the new course :-D - Thanks for the link of the groups. In the last course I propose an exercise: I have a wife and a child, everyone with their own account, and I want that my wife can read my files but my child not. In 11.04 there was an easy way to solve using User and Groups icon, now I need to use a console. Not a problem for me, but bad for new users. - For the power button, I use my computer as a DLNA server to watch in my TV movies that I have in my hard disk. When I finish to watch them I used to (in Ubuntu 11.04) 1-Press power button and go to bed However now I have to (in plain ubuntu 11.10) 1- Turn monitor on and wait a few seconds until it responds 2- Enter my password (because screen is locked) 3- Press power button or click on power off upper-right menu 4- Select power off and go to bed I'm afraid that tweak tools I've used (gconf-editor, Ubuntu Tweak) only allow to remove the confirmation of menu in the upper-right corner, not the power off button, so I can only remove a step (in ubuntu 11.10 with tweaks) 1- Turn monitor on and wait a few seconds until it responds 2- Enter my password (because screen is locked) 3- Click on power-off and go to bed I had to apply a different approach to have in ubuntu 11.10 the same behaviour than in 11.04. I wrote in http://askubuntu.com/questions/66723 /how-do-i-set-the-power-button-to-shutdown-instantly-instead-of- opening-a-dialog/84984#84984 But this solution is not for a new user. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880331 Title: Can no longer "shutdown" when laptop lid closes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/880331/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
