GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 579472
close menu: allow delaying
Last modified: 2021-07-05 14:14:08 UTC
Originally sent to Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/289673 Intrepid sports a new close menu. It would be cool to have an option on it, to delay the chosen option. This would allow the user to watch a movie in bed, for example, without fear of falling asleep and leaving his PC on during all night. This already exists as a modifier for the "shutdown" command; this would just make it more accessible to the casual user.

Any thoughts on this?

Setting "Automatic Suspend" to On after X minutes, and using a video player which correctly inhibits idle would have the same effect, without the need to change the logout dialogue. I can only imagine setting the dialogue timeout to 60 minutes and seeing it shutdown in the middle of you typing a mail because you forgot it was set to shutdown. In any case, reassigning this to gnome-shell where the logout dialogue is now implemented.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
