Public bug reported: A kind of regression/misconfiguration must have occurred today after a 14.04 dist-upgrade.
On top-right unity panel, selecting restart or shutdown only offers to lock screen or close session. In lightdm (out of sessions), only shutdown appears, but a text "are you sure you want to shut down" (translating from Spanish) window in the middle appears, with no buttons, so I cannot take any subsequent action apart from closing the pop-up. In order to shutdown/ reboot, I must log in the console and execute usual reboot, poweroff, etc. commands. Somebody else seems to complain "today" about related behaviour: http://askubuntu.com/questions/443249/missing-shut-down-and-restart-button-in-14-04 In some askubuntu pages for previous versions, they recommended changing RUN=yes in speed-dispatcher. Currently, my file is: cat /etc/default/speech-dispatcher # Defaults for the speech-dispatcher initscript, from speech-dispatcher # Set to yes to start system wide Speech Dispatcher RUN=no but, frankly, I don't know what it is and I don't wish messing around with that file. I filed the bug on lightdm because on reboot, I cannot shutdown even before starting any user session.
