When I press the power button on my PC, it brings up an interface with four options: Lock, suspend, restart, shut down. Is there any way to have it simply shut down when I press the power button?

Running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

  • Try installing gnome-tweak-tool and see if the options there can help you. To install it, open your terminal by pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>T</kbd> on your keyboard and type the following command in the terminal window: sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

Install dconf-editor first

sudo apt-get install dconf-editor

At Dconf editor window, press Ctrl + F and search for "button-power". Otherwise, navigate to

org > gnome > settings-daemon > plugins > power

Change the value to from interactive to shutdown just like this

That's it
