 |
|
Hi there,
at work we have a few server, which need a graphical environment. Therefore a minimal Gnome and GDM are installed.
Both Gnome and GDM provide a symbol with a shutdown dialog, in which a user an reboot or shutdown the machine. On a server this is not a desireable goal. Is there a way to remove/disable the reboot and shutdown ability for ordinary users?
| gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.login-screen: |
org.gnome.login-screen fallback-logo ''
org.gnome.login-screen disable-user-list false
org.gnome.login-screen allowed-failures 3
org.gnome.login-screen enable-smartcard-authentication false
org.gnome.login-screen banner-message-enable false
org.gnome.login-screen enable-password-authentication true
org.gnome.login-screen disable-restart-buttons false
org.gnome.login-screen logo '/usr/share/pixmaps/fedora-gdm-logo.png'
org.gnome.login-screen enable-fingerprint-authentication false
org.gnome.login-screen banner-message-text '' |
I tried:
| Code: | gsettings set org.gnome.login-screen disable-restart-buttons true
(process:47621): dconf-WARNING **: 17:41:13.670: failed to commit changes to dconf: The connection is closed.

Is there a way to disable reboot/shutdown for users in Gnome? |

I believe you can change these with dconf-editor, but in theory you could just change them back so its basically security through obscurity.
