[SOLVED] Command Line For Shutdown GUI

[jdorenbush]

I am trying to figure out the command line for the Shut-down/Kill GUI.


/usr/bin/gnome-session-save --gui --kill

That command line only brings up the Log Off and Switch User dialogue. I am trying to get the dialogue that brings up Shut Down, Restart, Suspend, and Hibernate.

You have to type:



sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (ENTER)


Replace stop with start to enable again, this won't survive a reboot, if you want to do that, that is disable the GUI for a while, type this:



update-rc.d -f gdm remove (ENTER)


To re-enable, type this:



update-rc.d -f gdm defaults (ENTER)

Its actually basically what this guy asked for, but he didn't get much help

I am trying to use a shutdown icon in Avant Window Navigator as an Applet. Not in the ubuntu Panel.

I meant to do that, but I totally forgot. It is already marked as Solved though - maybe an admin did it?
