When pressing the powerbutton in Xubuntu 14.04 a menu prompt would show and allow me to logout/shutdown/... etc.

Now that I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 this is not the case anymore.

How can I activate this menu?

Command-line method:

Open a terminal by first pressing Alt+F2 and the typing "terminal") and type the following:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power "interactive"

Graphical method:

For a graphical way to get the menu, you need to install dconf-editor; install it from the software center by typing the name of the application or from a terminal using sudo apt-get install dconf-editor and then open the application by first pressing Alt+F2 and then typing dconf-editor.

On opening the application, from the left side menu go to org -> gnome -> settings-daemon -> plugins -> power and then in "button-power" choose "interactive".
