It used to be possible to do this via the HUD (see Bug #1165420), but not anymore.
I agree with making these options available from the Dash (the "Hibernate" option could give some trouble because hibernation is disabled by default; maybe, when disabled, it could open the Help document on how to enable it?). The best place for these options would probably be in a new "System commands" scope (or in the "Alt+F2" scope, if it was accessible from the "Home" scope and from the normal Dash with the Super key). But, for now (Unity 7), I agree with putting some ".desktop" files in the Applications scope, and leaving a "better" solution for Unity 8. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1403293 Title: Unity Dash can't understand "logout", "reboot", or "shutdown" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1403293/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
