[Bug 1436458] Re: "Restart" function is no longer needed

 

Many things will be different between PC and phone, in ways that aren't
even decided yet. We don't know yet, for example, whether phones will
have multiple user accounts and therefore have a logout function. So it
is not reasonable, at this stage, to expect things to be designed for PC
as a prerequisite for changing them on the phone. Unity 8 is shipping on
phones to customers right now.

Whether a "Restart Into Bootloader" function exists in Developer Mode
does not affect whether a vanilla Restart function should exist.

** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New

** Description changed:

  1. Hold down the power button.
  
  What you see: "Power Off", "Restart", and "Cancel" controls.
  
  What you should see: "Power Off" and "Cancel" only.
  
- The "Restart" function was always intended to be temporary, to be
- removed once the phone software was stable.
+ As noted in bug 1358197, the "Restart" function was always intended to
+ be temporary, to be removed once the phone software was stable.
  
  Removing it would be one way of fixing bug 1412780, and would invalidate
  bug 1377146.
