How can I make the shutdown button shutdown, instead of logout, in Xubuntu?
In Xubuntu 14.04, using the xubuntu-desktop, if I push the physical power button on my computer, a panel pops up asking if I would like to log out, restart, or shut down.
If I select "shut down", I am logged out. Expected behavior: computer shuts down.
How can I configure it to do the correct thing? This is a vanilla, totally out of the box setup.

If you run:
sudo shutdown -h now
Does it shutdown ok?

Yes, that works fine. And selecting 'shutdown' from the action menu works fine, and selecting shutdown from the lightdm screen works fine. It's only the shutdown button on that panel that logs out instead of shutting down.

Try adding the boot option :
reboot=bios
May help

No, that does not help.
Can you help with this problem?
