The new and dashing looking Gnome 3 is really a treat to eye-candy lovers. With the obvious improvements there are some changes as well in the Gnome3. One of those major changes is the turn off or shut down option. In previous version the shut down option was on the top right corner, under the user name drop down. In the new version it seems that Gnome has replaced this option. True to an extent. Because the options you will see in the drop down is Lock Screen, Switch User, Log Out, Suspend but no Turn off option.
The Trick: Click on the top right corner (user name) and press Alt. Now you can see that Suspend option has been changed to Power Off… When you click on this Power Off, it gives you the option of Cancel, Restart and Power Off.
Alternate: As suggested by fdeschape:
- open UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER
- search for “gnome-shell-extensions-alternative-status-menu”
- install it and then log out and log back in
- It will be there in status menu
