I hope this is a simple question, and I may be just too dumb to
figure it out. I am running Ubuntu on a HP ZE4500 series laptop, with Gnome
desktop.Everything works great except when I am ready to shut it down. I have to
click on the (I/O) icon in the bottom right of the screen. When I click this I
have the option to Log Off, Hibernate, and 3 other options, but there is no
shutdown option. What I have to do is select log off, then when it comes to the
Log On screen, I have to click menu, then select Shutdown. I can open a shell
window and type in the command for shutdown, but sometimes it doesn't go all the
way down, it just goes to the shell. Is there a way I can get the shutdown
option in the same window as the Log Off and Hibernate options? I hope I wasn't
too confusing on my explanation.
