power button popup window (solved) (slrpnk.net)

Is there any way to disable the power button popup window? I'd like it to be just an immediate shutdown switch, not have to confirm or wait 60 seconds...

I'm on Pop OS

Assuming you're using gnome (Pops default DE) this command should do it:

gsettings set org.gnome.SessionManager logout-prompt false

It shouldn't need to run as root, casing matters with the schema name, make sure your are using "SessionManager". Beyond that I'm not sure... This worked for me on fedora. Perhaps someone with more Pop experience will chime in.

It worked! Thank you!!

I guess it was just the syntax error on my part or something. The first time I had tried just directly copy/paste the command. I don't know why that didn't work. When I did it the second time I typed everything in directly, and no problems.

Weird it didn't run when copy pasted, but glad it worked out. I find it annoying how many detail settings like this are hidden away in gsetting/dconf when devs could add a checkbox to the settings menus. Ah well, gnome things.

Any specifics? Now I'm wondering what other Q.O.L. improvements I should be making. Lol

Nothing off the top of my head that would be universal, but for me things like showing the full path in the file browser, or keeping scroll bars visible, those settings were stashed in there.

You can use a GUI tool like dconf-editor to peruse the settings, but there is a lot - careful not to change anything without googling and understanding the purpose.

I could see showing the full path in the file browser being helpful. I do like it that there's a 'open in terminal' option in the 3-dot menu on pop_os. I've used it a few times already; I'm still learning how to change directories...

The hidden scroll bars is a feature I feel like I've just become desensitized to over time. It's been such common theme for so long now... Lol

Unrelated, but one thing I've been wondering about is if there's a reason why copy and paste functionality is not the same in the terminal as it is in the regular operating system. I feel like having this functionality be the same would be helpful for not having to type everything in directly all the time.
