[Bug 1169763] Re: When restart button pressed, the restart offers shutdown and restart

[Brian Murray]

I too find it odd that clicking Restart in update-manager then asks me
what I want to do.

Title:
  When restart button pressed, the restart offers shutdown and restart

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This is an implementation bug that I am pointing, and not a bug as
  described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
  manager/+bug/1033226

  When restart is needed, the offered option is a "Restart" button. What
  a user is waiting to happen is the system to restart. Instead,
  clicking the "Restart" button doesn't restart the system, instead it
  offers more options, like shutdown and restart.

  What should have happened:

  * Clicking  "Restart" should immediately restart the system as the
  button suggests.

  What is proposed :

  * Clicking  "Restart" should start a countdown (30 sec ?) indicating that the system will perform a restart
  * The countdown window should offer a cancel button in case that the restart button was pressed by accident.
