Disable the shutdown timer on Ubuntu
Ever since I upgraded my laptop to Ubuntu 9.04 there's been one thing pissing me off about it...
When it's time to shutdown etc, there's a new window with a 60 second timer saying that the computer will shut down in xx seconds...REALLY annoying! I know you're going to shut down, I asked you to...and you know I asked you to so what's with the new window suggesting that I may not know what I'm doing? What's next....a highly irritating paper clip asking me if i'm sure? Hey Ubuntu, this isn't windows.
Here's how to get rid.
- Right click on the power button and select 'preferences'
- Uncheck the 'Show confirm dialogs for logout, restart and shutdown'
It took me a while to find this option so hopefully it'll come in handy for other irritated Ubuntu users.
