Lubuntu 11.10 - Shutdown button missing from panel

[Big Lizard]

I did two installs of Lubuntu 11.10. One computer has the Shutdow button on the panel. On the other computer it's missing and I can't find out how to restore it. (I tried a bunch of the panel applets, but it's not there...or did I miss it.) How do I get that back?
---BTW, there is no "Shutdown" in the applet list.---

Thanks in advance for any help.

I guess nobody knows. So much for Lubuntu 11.10.

Mines is missing too, not found it yet. I have to Switch USer to get the loggon screen and the shutdown button is there on that screen. Unfortunately it does not always shutdown the pc. So have to hard off the pc. Not very good so far really.

I deleted my shutdown button by accident on an 11.10 beta & couldn't find it in panel applets.

I used the logout option in the main menu as it brings up the same options list as the shutdown button usually at the other end of the panel.

Checking my shiny new 11.10 final, the logout button at the bottom of the main menu still provides the list...or has it disappeared from there too?

You need to learn how to be patient
Things are going crazily fast and I do have tons of personal issues here. I'm trying to help as much as possible but it's getting worse here, mate. Just give me some time and I'll get back to you.

Thanks for understanding.

FEEL FREE to PM with a link of your thread next time you do have a new problem whether here or on LXDE Forum, ok?

That goes to ANYONE. YES, PM me your thread link if it's related to Lubuntu ONLY. Thanks!

I will just add that I have seen this problem too. So I will wait like all the others for a solution.

I have the same problem with Ubuntu 11.10 as you are having with Lubuntu. I'm sure it will be fixed before long, but meanwhile I'll describe how I got round it:

Click on Dash home. Type "Shutdown" (without the quotation marks) in the search panel. The Shutdown App appears in a File icon. Click on this and a nice friendly program starts with the choice of Restart or Cancel or Shutdown.

This will be my method of choice until the problem is fixed.

Typing "sudo shutdown now" in the terminal also worked for me, but it was slower.
Ctrl/Alt/Delete just restarts the computer, with no shutdown option.

Ok, finally got some time so there you go:

1- Open LXTerminal

2- Type this command (just copy and paste it there):

sudo leafpad /usr/share/applications/lubuntu-logout.desktop

3- Now, copy the content below and paste it in that file, double check, save and exit.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Shutdown
Name[zh_TW]=關機
Type=Application
Comment=Shutdown or Reboot
Icon=system-shutdown-panel
Exec=lubuntu-logout
#NoDisplay=true
Categories=Settings;DesktopSettings

4- Right Click on LXPanel > Add/Remove Panel Items > Add > Application Launch Bar > Double Click on Application Launch Bar > Preferences > Select Shutdown from the list and Click "Add" > Close > Close

5- DONE.

Thanks amjjawad - I have been looking to solve this problem on my lubuntu 12.4 after accidentially deleting the icon.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Lubuntu/LXDE doesn't have "Dash" and "Unity"

The command for shutdown is:

sudo shutdown -P now

I have updated the wiki page. Now, everyone can see that and no need to more threads
