Hi,
I have an F20 installation that has been upgraded using Fedup
through every version on Fedora from F17. I don't use Gnome, instead I
use KDE (personal preference, I believe they stuffed Gnome with the
introduction of Gnome 3 and I believe KDE has always been more
configurable) and under KDE the system uses poweroff to "poweroff" and
shutdown to reboot. In the settings where this definition is there is
also an option to specify who these commands are available for, both
locally and remotely. For the local setting I specify "everybody" which
then means both commands are available to "ordinary" users. I haven't
booted into Gnome 3 since upgrading to F20, but as already stated the
shutdown options were there even under Gnome 3. What the issue might be
is that F20 is using a more recent version of Gnome 3 than F19, where
more facilities have been removed by default (with the way Gnome 3 has
been developed it makes it look like it has been developed by
Microsoft). From what I have read on the net there are 2 methods of
getting a lot of the missing configurability back again, both of which
are recommended to be installed by Gnome 3 users as a matter of
priority. I know they are available for Ubuntu, what I don't know at
this stage is whether they are available for Fedora. I'll reboot into
Gnome 3 and see if the options are available on my system.
regards,
Steve

I have just Fedup'd Fedora 19 to F20 on a Dell 1520 laptop and it
works well, took about 4 hours to complete still has the same php
error message about /usr/lib64/pdo-mysql.so but all works well.
There seems to be no way to shut own the system other than going to a
terminal and entering shutdown as root.
I vaguely remember other Fedora versions had the same thing and we
had to install some app to provide the shut down menu.
What is that has to be installed to get a shut down in Fedora 20
please? Why would a shut down or reboot menu be missing? Some folks
do still switch off for the night or while they are away. Puzzling.
poweroff works as a user. You don't have to su to poweroff or
reboot. At least I don't.
shutdown DOES see to require root priv.
