Is there a way I can change the amount of time before I am logged out?  I use gnome-session-quit.  It is currently set for 1 minute.  I would like to set time to less than 60 seconds.

I would like to change the timer on the "The system will power off automatically in 60 seconds" dialog. The battery on my device dies about 30 seconds into this message.   There doesn't seem to be a setting for this in the usual places (gsettings, dconf, system settings, etc).  I am not interested in removing this dialog or changing the shutdown behavior, I just want to change the amount of time that it waits.

I often move between 2 time zones, and expect my Windows 7 laptop to somehow automatically change the system time, being spoiled by the same feature on my cell phone. I always assumed that desktop O/Ses simply did not do this, but I was shocked yesterday when I noticed that OSX on the MacBook actually does this!  Does anybody know of any utilities that does this on Windows, specifically Windows 7? There has to be something out there?

I'm using ubuntu 12.04.   I tried   $ gnome-about –gnome-version gnome-about: command not found  $ gnome-session --version gnome-session 3.2.1   Why I need is because my desktop environment doesn't look like   though wikipedia states that the default gnome version on 12.04 is 3.4.1.

I believe it automatically runs at midnight, but I would rather it run during an off-peak internet period to save my quota.  How can I change the time it runs?

I have installed gnome-session-flashback and I love my new Gnome desktop, and I am sure that I do not want to go back to Unity, and as unity stuff takes up a lot of space on my machine, is there a safe way of fully removing it? So that perhaps there isn't even an option at login to go back to it?  Do I just run?:  sudo apt-get purge unity*   Or is there something else that I need to do? I also understand that as @Seth said, it is very well baked into the system. So it may be problematic to remove. Is there any danger of this? Are there any measures I can take to prevent anything going wrong? And what sort of impact could this have on my system if it went wrong?

With the new version of Gnome Shell in Ubuntu 12.10 they turned  around by just displaying the shutdown option which becomes suspend on pressing Alt.  How do I get back my beloved suspend option?

Every time I reboot my machine the brightness goes back to 100% in Gnome. I wish it would keep the last setting. Is there anyway?

I'm aware I can use (sudo?) shutdown -h hh:mm in a terminal window to shut down a system, however the user that is logged in is a kiosk user, which is locked down in such a way that terminal (or any window other than firefox, for that matter) cannot be opened.  My question is: Is there a way I can do this without having a terminal window opened? I've read about cron, but can't quite work it out. How can I change the shutoff time depending on what day it is?

In Ubuntu 11.04, Ctrl-Alt-Del gives me a menu with shutdown, hibernate, suspend and restart, but no logout. Is there a key combination to logout of Ubuntu? Is there a way to provide one?

Is there any possibility to autohide the Panel in GNOME session?  In picture below I selected the area what I mean.

[Running Ubuntu Gnome 15.10]  I recently brought my computer from PST to EST in North America.  Once in EST my laptop did not update the timezone.  I tried toggling the "Auto Time Zone" switch which had no effect.  Finally, I rebooted the machine which also didn't have an effect.  Running /usr/lib/geoclue-2.0/demos/where-am-i doesn't return any result.

I have selected the setting 'Automatic Login' from within the default Gnome 3 Ubuntu 17.10 control panel app, but it keeps resetting to 'off' after every restart and does not allow me to automatically login.  Any ideas?

I want lightdm to enter power save after a specific period of time.  If I'm logged in then my screen will time out as per the user settings, however when no one is logged in the screen will stay on forever.  I've looked at some posts that make some suggestions on what to do, but none of them seem to work or it's down to my limited knowledge of Linux.  updated 6/2/2014: The settings shown by sudo -H -u lightdm dbus-launch --exit-with-session gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power are as follows:  org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power active true org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-hibernate 'hibernate' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power 'interactive' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-sleep 'suspend' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-suspend 'suspend' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power critical-battery-action 'suspend' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-brightness 30     org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim true     org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action 'suspend' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action 'suspend'  org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-suspend-with-external-monitor false     org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power notify-perhaps-recall true     org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power percentage-action 2     org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power percentage-critical 3     org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power percentage-low 10     org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power priority 0     org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 120     org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'suspend'  org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 0     org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-type 'suspend'  org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power time-action 120     org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power time-critical 300     org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power time-low 1200     org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power use-time-for-policy true   I would have assumed the sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 120 would have been the correct entry, but it doesn't time-out unless I'm actually logged in as a user.

In Ubuntu 18.04, my current desktop looks like this:    How do I display date under time in GNOME panel as below?

I am using Ubuntu Natty on my laptop. While unplugged screen fades out, gets a little bit darker. It is great for the battery.   The question is how I can adjust the time before the fades out. Now it is something like 5 seconds.  When I read I must hold my finger on the touchpad in order to be not annoying of the brightness shifts every time.   1 or 5 minutes should be better.  I looked for it in Compiz configuration with no success....  Thank you in advance.

I am setting up Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome3 for a computer lab.  I don't want the users to be able to change the background of the computer.  Is there a way to prevent this? Or to revert the background back when the computer reboots?

On every boot up I get this:    For about 10 seconds (or more) before the "normal" Ubuntu Gnome loading screen and the login screen comes up.  I've read some questions and a bug report about this already, but this problem was dismissed as a minor inconvenience or there were no real solutions (that worked for me). For me, this problem leads to an unacceptable slow boot compared to Ubuntu (Unity) or Windows.  Does anybody know how to fix this or is this a "feature" of Ubuntu Gnome and not a bug?
