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

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.
