Introducing the Celtic Magic Button

tomocafe

Does your Budgie panel need more Solus pride? Or maybe you just want to shut down your machine with less mouse clicks?

Check out the Celtic Magic Button! It's a panel button that simply shuts down your computer.

It's a nod to the fastest shutdown in the all the Linux-land. Powered by Celtic Magic™.

Least amount of mouse clicks takes a double tap of Ctrl+Alt+Del. 😉

seagle True, this is more of a style over substance thing. 😂

This is now available in the stable repo. (Thanks @DataDrake!)

sudo eopkg install celtic-magic-button

or find it in the Software Center. 😁

tomocafe Thank you!

tomocafe Not a complaint, but from the comments I assumed it was a one-click way to exit, but it still requires a second click to confirm exiting. Is this by design, or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you tomocafe for making this, and DataDrake for including it!

I managed to build this before it was officially included (my first build), and would like to remove it before installing the official build. Would appreciate any help i can get, on how to remove the version i build manually, thanks.

[deleted] Installing it from the repo should just overwrite it, so it doesn't really matter. But if you want to go the extra mile, you can delete the applet's folder from /usr/lib64/budgie-desktop/plugins.

EbonJaeger That was quick! Good to know, thank you very much for the help.

WetGeek It follows your GNOME preferences. There’s a section about this in the README of the GitHub link in the first post. But note that running the dconf command to bypass the shutdown confirmation applies to all invocations of the shutdown button, not just with this button.

WetGeek One step less than a raven shutdown or taskbar shutdown, though. Also it's one click more than a hard re-boot🙂. It exists somewhere in-between🙂

tomocafe Thanks, that makes sense. I guess I'd just never turned off that confirmation setting on this workstation.
