Shut down button in cinnamon

[juancompadre]

Hello, I am using ubuntu 14.04 with cinnamon 2.8.6 and when I press the shut down button, it appears a window where I can only press cancel. Before this problem happened, in this window I could choose to shut down, restart and suspend. I have reinstalled cinnamon and the problem is still there. When I use unity or gnome I don't have this problem, it only happens with cinnamon. Any ideas of how to solve that?

Hello and welcome to the forum. I like the Cinnamon desktop myself and solved the problem of using it with ubuntu by switching to Linux Mint 17.3 where it is the default DE. Mint is based on ubuntu anyway so it's not a big change.:)

Hello, thanks for the answer. Yes it can be a good option for a future installation but I don't think I should change my entire linux for a little problem like this.

You are probably right, sorry I can't be of more help.
