Ubuntu Unity Panel includes menu items Lock and Log Out. But when you click Log Out, you see a dialog box asking if you'd like to Lock or Log Out (a Microsoft-style question for dummies ;-) which I find annoying.

Opening dconf Editor and selecting org > gnome > gnome-session and disabling logout-prompt has no effect, unlike selecting apps > indicator-session and enabling suppress-logout-restart-shutdown, which does what it says -- getting rid of a similar question.

  • org.gnome.gnome-session is for Gnome stuff - I would try under com.canonical.Unity (or whatever it is - don't have access to unity at the moment) – Wilf Nov 19 '14 at 19:57

    Because Unity is based on Gnome, I thought it should work. Perhaps we should wait until developers care to add such an option to apps > indicator-session then??? – Sadi Nov 20 '14 at 08:52

    Depends - with Unity (and some bits of gnome) they seem to prefer what they want over what the users want (e.g. the trash icon). Note you may also be able log out via terminal, and could assign a shortcut to it. This may also help. It may also be available as a option under Compiz or something... what version of Unity + Ubuntu are you using? – Wilf Nov 20 '14 at 22:02
  • Thanks. I use Ubuntu 14.10 with Unity 7.3.1. There's no such option in Compiz Unity Settings. But it's possible to log out bypassing that odd dialog merely by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Back. And this seems the best alternative to using the current Log Out menu item at the moment. – Sadi Nov 20 '14 at 22:16

Unfortunately there's no such option yet (as of Ubuntu 16.10).

But it is possible to log out directly by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Back.
