Disable Shotdown/Reboot/Hibernate buttons on LOGIN SCREEN

[kurci2]

HI!
i want to remove shutdown/restart/hibernate buttons from my gdm login screen on ubuntu 10.10.
if i disable these buttons with ubuntu tweak or gdm2setup it is just ignored and all buttons are still there...
any sugestions??

Do you mean the 1,s on the top right of screen?

[kurci2]

these buttons are actually on right bottom corner...login screen
if you click that icon then additional options pops out (shotdown, restart and hibernate)

Try:

sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -t bool -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons true

to disable the buttons. To (re-)enable them:

sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -t bool -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons false

[kurci2]

sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -t bool -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons true

after that code buttons are still there...

i have the same issue. i disabled the restart_buttons with gconf-tool for user gdm, my standard user and root, but it is still there.
if i disable the user list with disable_user_list, the user_list disappears, but now the restart/shutdown buttons.
do you know any fix for this?

Surf to /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow and move "Power Manager" to another place (somewhere in your home dir). I have NOT tried this myself, so I don't know the consequences. If it fails, put it back there.

[Blowfish0815]

No consequences...it doesn't change anything.

anybody ideas? i don't want to remove the GUI completely, but if i can't find a fix for this i will have to.

@Blowfish0815: Did you restart (at least GDM) after doing this!?
