#9406 Unable to Power off / Restart Bug
Closed: Invalid by kevin. Opened by daveleedave.

Closed: Invalid
Reopen Issue

Fedora 32 / GNOME 3.36.1 / Kernal 5.6.2 / Both Wayland & Xorg
So, there is NO Power Off Button in the Menu & Even after using Keyboard Shortcut / Physical Button, That Power Off / Restart Popup Comes BUT Pressing those Option don’t do anything.

In short, I CAN’T SHUTDOWN MY PC. Need to do Force Shutdown by Keep Pressing Physical Button.

And Every time I get Logged out / Restart - The Default selected option is X-Org I need to select Wayland every single time!

Fedora 32 x86_64 Beta
Kernel: 5.6.2-301GNOME 3.36.1

It was working fine before, I think this started happening when Updated my system from
Kernel 5.6 => 5.6.2
And also upgraded gnome-shell from 3.36.1 => 3.36.1 release 3
OR maybe when due to Power Outage, PC suddenly got shutdown. (More Possibility)

While doing reboot manually from terminal, I get this. sudo reboot works fine. But it should' require sudo because I am admin.

Failed to set wall message, ignoring: Action org.freedesktop.login1.set-wall-message is not registered
Failed to reboot system via logind: Action org.freedesktop.login1.reboot is not registered
Failed to open initctl fifo: Permission denied
Failed to talk to init daemon.

Can’t enable systemd-logind & it’s status gives this logs. https://pastebin.com/jHAajZee Also included Poweroff.target status logs

Sorry to hear of your issues, but this is not at all the right place to report them. This is Fedora Release Engineering, we just handle building content and distributing it, we can't fix bugs in that content.

Likely you want to report this as a bug in bugzilla.redhat.com or gitlab.gnome.org, or perhaps to find out where best to file, you might try the fedora test list ( where our QA folks hang out).

There's a full list of resources at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicating_and_getting_help

Hope that helps.
