log out dialog behavior, can't restart (via kde)

[xterminus]

I recently upgraded to kde 4.10 via the backports. I've had a few minor problems I've been able to sort out - notably the synaptics touchpad crashing until I replaced it with the version intended for inclusion with the next kubuntu release, and ensuring the lockscreen was excluded from the opacity settings with the oxygen-transparent style. One thing that's driving me a little nuts is the logout dialog which pops up when you hit the power button or right click on the desktop and select "leave". It only has 3 options. (Lock, Sleep, & Turn off). There is no option to reboot/restart. Is this intentional?

It's not a big deal, I can always reboot via commandline, I was just curious.

Thanks for any input you guys might have!

Hi ! This is not an ultimate solution (I am also strugling with this issue), but it somewhat works ! Go to System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Session Management, and uncheck the "Confirm logout" checkbox. Then the system will logout, restart and shutdown as commanded, but without any kind of confirmation. Not the best solution, but it works.

Log out dialog

At here, (13.04 / KDE4.10 & 12.10 / KDE 4.9) the log out dialog has 3+1 options.



Logout / Turn off (+suspend to RAM sub menu) / Restart

The sub menu option has been there from the KDE 4.9: http://lamarque-lvs.blogspot.fi/2012...og-in-490.html

The plasma context menu (right click the desktop) has the lock option.



Maybe someone with the 12.10 / KDE 4.10 can check the dialog options ?


Restart with submenu (Grub options)

!!!Before you edit, BACKUP !!!

Original - GRUB2/BURG Integration in KDE: http://ksmanis.wordpress.com/2012/01...ration-in-kde/

At here (13.04):

1) Editing the /etc/default/grub
Change

GRUB_DEFAULT=0

to

GRUB_DEFAULT=saved

2) Saving the Grub configuration file

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

3) Note: KDM needed ! - The KDM option: http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthr...l=1#post327642

KDE System Settings > Login Screen > Shutdown > Boot manager: Grub2



4) Reboot

Now the 'Restart Computer' has the Grub options sub menu:
