In karmic and jaunty when I would logout or shutdown the computer the prompt that would confirm the action would have a 60 second timer attached to it. When the timer expired the dialog would assume an OK response and proceed with the shutdown or logout. This is missing in lucid. I was wondering if there was a way to get it back? After a bit of research it seems that this was a hated feature. I am not sure why. To me it meant that if I forgot to acknowledge the dialog it would be acknowledged automatically in 60 seconds for me. I always thought that this was good. Now it doesn't time out and I still have to click OK. I don't see the advantage. Any ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Troy |

Doing a bit of looking around on this it looks like this is actually a bug and has been reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gshutdown/+bug/548415 Expect them to fix it sometime soon then :) EDIT: Just read through the bug report and it looks like it was by design and it was altered in code so there is no easy way to re-enable that feature I am afraid. Thanks Gareth. It is unfortunate that it appears to be a hard-coded fix.

Hello my friend You can suppress this confirmation dialog using Ubuntu-tweak package easily. That's a nice tool for tweaking many features of Ubuntu. Take a look at the project's website Enjoy Lucid! He's not talking about suppressing the dialogue, he's talking about getting the timer back that the dialogue used to have.
