This is not the power switch you are looking for

Fallout from usrmove, perhaps?  I tried to shutdown a VM running Rawhide:

Clicked on the power button symbol in the upper right hand corner of
the GDM desktop and chose "Power Off".  Nothing.  Clicked it again,
just in case.  Nothing.

Okay, so Ctrl-Alt-F3, login as root, and then this:

[root@jerry-rawhide32 ~]# shutdown -P now
Unknown operation now
[root@jerry-rawhide32 ~]# man shutdown

Nope, I had the syntax right.  Well, there's a poweroff command,
right?  Haven't used it for awhile...

[root@jerry-rawhide32 ~]# man poweroff
man: can't open /usr/share/man/halt.8: No such file or directory
[root@jerry-rawhide32 ~]# man halt

Okay, that worked.  I don't need to pass any arguments, just plain
poweroff.  Cool.

[root@jerry-rawhide32 ~]# poweroff
UNIT                      LOAD   ACTIVE SUB       JOB DESCRIPTION
proc-sys...misc.automount loaded active waiting     Arbitrary Executable File

... followed by several more pages of systemd output piped to less.

Okay, I give up.  How am I supposed to turn this thing off?
