    How to Remove Shutdown/Restart From Login Screen?

    I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 (and, on another server, 10.10) and can't seem to figure out how to remove the Shutdown and Restart options from the menu on the bottom right of the login screen.

    I've tried

    Code:
    gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconf-editor
    and checking the /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons, but it doesn't do anything even after a reboot. I've also tried the above command as root (without the "-u gdm").

    I have also tried adding the following lines to /etc/gdm/custom.conf:

    Code:
    RebootCommand=
ShutdownCommand=
    These seem to have no effect either. Is this a Gnome bug, or am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks for any help!

    If you have Ubuntu Tweak, there's an option to remove the restart under Login Settings. Will have to some research about the shutdown.

    Thanks - just checked it out.

    Ubuntu Tweak seems to just toggle the setting in gconf-editor, which doesn't do anything. Is this a Gnome bug?

    This may be a stupid question,but, have you looked in the Ubuntu forums?

    Yup, nothing there - but I did figure things out, after a fashion. Check out my other thread there:
