Get Restart Option in Ubuntu System Menu

Before
After
To add the Restart option in Systems Menu/Ubuntu Panel Bar, we will use dconf editor tool. You can install dconf Editor via Ubuntu Software Center. Open and search dconf Editor and click install.
Dconf Editor tool is a low-level key/value database designed for storing desktop environment settings. It is a graphical editor. Its main purpose is to provide a backend to GSettings on platforms that don’t already have configuration storage systems.
- Once installed, open the dconf Editor from Unity dash.
- Navigate to apps > indicator-session.
- Check the value box after “suppress-logout-restart-shutdown.”
The option value contains the following information:
Schema: com.canonical.indicator.session
Summary: Suppress the dialog to confirm logout, restart and shutdown action
Description: Whether or not to show confirmation dialogs for logout, restart and shutdown actions.
Once done, you’ll see Restart option available in system menu. There is no need to restart the system. The options are shown immediately in the Ubuntu System Menu.
