I'm also effected by this bug. Similar to the original reporter I've also upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10 on a dell workstation (T-1600 in my case) and the shutdown and restart buttons also don't have any effect for me. I'll end up back on the desktop.
However I can shutdown by pressing the power button on the machine, this will initiate the shutdown process and it works. Also via the terminal shutdown and reboot work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.
