Description

Was implemented in feature/jessie, and then reverted in 4d2a7b565410d007c4713936a6904494fb991cab since we decided at the December 2014 meeting that the bigger problem was more complicated (Feature #8383).

  • Subject changed from Add a lock screen action to the shutdown button to Add a lock screen action to the system menu

(In GNOME Shell our interface to shutdown and reboot is in the “system menu”, on the top-right of the screen; that’s where the button to lock the screen lives in a normal GNOME Shell, so presumably it’s also where our own locking button should live.)

  • QA Check set to Ready for QA

anonym: I’m sorry to bring up this issue once more but I don’t see the screen locker in the system menu in 2.6~rc1 nor mentioned in the Changelog. So I understand that this won’t be in 2.6. It’s probably because the ticket was not marked for 2.6.

If my understanding is correct we should move this ticket to 2.8 as well as Feature #11256, Feature #6017, Feature #10970 (or only the parent ticket but I still want Feature #10970 to be marked explicity to see it better myself).

#17 Updated by sajolida 2016-09-04 02:01:40

Marking this for 2.6 until the status of the whole feature is clarified, see Feature #5878#note-16.

#18 Updated by intrigeri 2016-09-09 14:47:39

  • Target version changed from Tails_2.6 to Tails_2.9.1

(See Feature #5684#note-54 and Feature #5684#note-55.)

#19 Updated by anonym 2016-11-25 13:25:13

  • Target version changed from Tails_2.9.1 to Tails 2.10

Bumping this feature to the new next major release (given 2.8 was cancelled).
