shutting down in gnome-shell

[calanor]

I was browsing through the desktop help when I found this helpful tip. When you click your name in the right upper corner in gnome-shell and press alt the suspend option changes to shutdown.
I haven't been able to successfully shut down from there, however it does bring a shut down dialog. I thought this might help.

I have been trying that little trick myself, and it continuously locks up on me as well. However, I have been having my system lock up on shutdown nearly every time, no matter how I try to shut it down.

I believe this is a bug in systemd, and possibly when that bug gets fixed, then the shutdown from gnome-shell will work properly.

Or instead of selecting suspend select logout then go to the top right icon and select shutdown from there. A few extra steps but it works for me along with using "shutdown -h now" from the terminal. :)

[CTRL]+[ALT]+[DEL] seems to be fairly foolproof right now. But tomorrow ... who knows?! <..:p..>

[DBelton]

I've been having to use the "big button" reboot on mine the past few days :(

Shutdown (by pressing alt in the G3 user menu) works great here, plus it was the fastest shutdown I ever had on a Unixoid system. About a second or so.

[DBelton]

my shutdown was faster! :p

actually, though.. I think I've gotten my shutdown issues resolved (hopefully) so maybe I won't have to use the big button again :)

[tuxor]

yes, the shutdown/reboot problems are solved. I also suffered from freezes on shutdown/reboot and since the latest updates those problems are entirely gone.

[calanor]

Menu shutdown started working :)

[Dan]

Hmmmm. As of 0200 local, it was still an issue here even after updating.

[DBelton]

mod's Dan's computer to put a remote power button on it located beside his mouse :D

Mine is still a little flakey on the shutdown here as well. I had it to hang just a few minutes ago :( I thought it had been fixed, but then it hung. Not sure if it was due to the same problem or not, though. systemd is kinda cryptic on error message (if you even get them)

[Ulli]

By the way: I usually never turn my PC off, I prefer hibernate (not suspend; hibernate).

Is this completely gone now? :(

Even Windows still offers it at least as an option (if you click that arrow next to the shutdown button). While F15 is fast enough that you can boot it fresh every time, I'd be really happy if I could still hibernate it (and preferably from the desktop, not the command line, so it'd disconnect+reconnect after the restart).

Doesn't work for me. My solution? CTRL/ALT/F2, log in as root and run shutdown -h now or reboot.

Maybe you're just not holding your mouth right. I gave mine the Mark IV stinkeye about two hours ago, and it's been working fine ever since. The only thing I did was install the GIMP, Inkscape, Libre-Office and Gnome Unit converter. Go figure. <..:confused:..>

[Dan]

Whoops! Check that. Spoke too soon. Shutdown just failed.

[ovadyah]

The shutdown (alt/suspend) and suspend have been really working well for me. I have, however, not updated with the testing updates repo for about a week, had been having to many head aches :doh:

[Dan]

Uhm ... Hate to ask a silly question here, but has anyone filed a bug report on this yet?
