Hello,
Could you reconsider the -wontfix designation?
As people have said here more eloquently than I can, there is room for
more than one way of shutting down. I for one really liked the timer
because I'd often walk away without realizing my desktop was still on at
the dialog screen. I found thi
Please bring back an optional delayed shutdown.
Thanks

I remember the first time I saw this feature. I really thought it was
God's way of showing us he loves us, like letting mankind have beer,
snowboarding, Linux and sex. Now I'm running my eight year old Vaio on
Ubuntu 10.10 and saw in the first shutdown that the 60 second countdown
has disappeared
Can we do like this:
1. Default case :
- Display and start timer and look for click events.
- Proceed for shutdown if time elapsed < 30 seconds && user clicks
on timer
- Proceed for shutdown if time elapsed > 30 seconds
2. Alternate Case 1 :
- User cl

Hello,
It happens that I ask my laptop to shutdown and then close the screen too fast
so I don't see the shutdown confirmation dialog.
The problem is that it's very irritating when I wake up the morning after and
see that my computer stayed awake all the night just because that timer feature

Please please bring back the shutdown timer! I don't see how anyone can
claim that the confirmation prompt is any better than the timer. With

I forget something, I really appreciate that I can cancel. I will never

I too would be very grateful for the revival of this feature.
I lost my laptop's battery last night because I forgot to press 'Yes' on the
shutdown prompt.. so it stayed running until it's battery became critically low.
My other OS, Windows 7 turns off automatically after I press shutdown, without
I just upgraded to 10.4 and the count down is one of the things that I
miss.
One click and it will eventually shut down.
Any chance to make it configurable?

I too really miss this feature. As already mentioned, the delayed
shutdown was a really useful feature i.e you can cancel shutdown if
you've just remembered to do something, not having to click to confirm
(which is a backward step IMHO). Is there a way to port the code from
09.10?

I also liked the timer. I found this thread looking for a way to have a
delayed shutdown in Ubuntu. I liked it because it would give a minute
for my video card to cool down after reaching high temps. If you are
heading to bed after playing a game, most people aren't going to wait
for the electronic
I also liked the timer -- it served a purpose that provided genuine
usability advantages.
Choose shutdown once and then leave. If you realize within 60 sec that
you really wanted to do something else on the computer, you can cancel
the shutdown. This way you don't have to confirm the shutdown if
I'd like to have this feature back. It worked the way I do. That is,
when I click "shutdown," that's what I mean to do... 9 times out of 10.
It was refreshing not being second-guessed with the "are you sure"
dialog. And for that 1 time out of 10? The 60-second grace period was
perfect.
I feel
I would also like to configure the dialog to have a timer. Thanks!

I have just discovered that the dialog can already be switched off
(option "apps/indicator-session/suppress_logout_restart_shutdown" in
gconf-editor). So it's just the timer option that is missing.

Why has this been set to "won't fix" so fast? The ongoing discussion
about this issue clearly shows that different people have different
preferences. So the most logical choice seems to make the behavior
configurable:

- A confirmation di
I agree with Hellion and lavinog. I actually found the timer thoughtful
design. It was one the features that I liked the most since switching
from windows. It would be great if users could themselves decide whether
to countdown or not.
Please leave us the option to tweak this feature.

A couple of my family members liked the timer for the same reason Hellenion
mentioned.
It would seem that allowing the user to configure this behaviour would be the
best way to go about this even if it is only configurable with gconf.

personally, I loved the countdown timer. It's very useful, I often shut
down the computer before realizing I needed to send that last important
e-mail or something similar, with the timer, I could walk away, and if
necessary, come back before it had finished.
Since most users aren't as forgetful a
Not trying to be facetious but I actually did go on vacation for 4 days

The timer always posed a bunch of issues. One of which was with the
text in the dialog, which was in another bug. But, also with how the
behavior of dialog should be.
Should the dialog make the whole OS modal? That seems a bit heavy
handed, but the results of not clicking on it in time could be
Ted, I don't really follow that rationale. Did adding the timer have a
significant hit on the time it took for the dialog to appear that it
justifies removing a subtle backup strategy (which is, in the case of

Yes, this is by design. Basically, if the dialogs come up fast enough
it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to have them count down as
well. People will see and respond to them. Thanks for noticing.
