I have 4 icons in the top right corner.
one to switch on the internet, one which displays a small
aeroplane, one for speaker volume and one for battery status.
They all have the same dropdown menu which has a selection Home
which provides Switch User and Log out.
Wow! thanks, I just found the shut down icon, it is a tiny circle
with a line through it, bottom right in that menu selection.
Great
Cheers

Hi,
Just following on from my previous email, I logged out of KDE
and logged into Gnome (as opposed to Gnome Classic) and in the top
right hand corner menu selection there was a power button as well
as a setting button. Clicking on the power button provided the
option to restart or to shutdown, but no logout option. Clicking
on restart then rebooted the system. If I assume that the command
being executed for that is the same as under KDE, then that option
ran the "shutdown" command which did not require root privileges,
but that may be because with the setting I have under KDE, KDE has
modified that command to not require root privileges for
execution.
regards,
Steve

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

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.
