    Hello
    There's a bug in the latest version of Rescuezilla, the Plucky subversion. When you click on the Start menu, select Shutdown, the pop-up dialog box with the options doesn't appear, so you can only restart using the command line with the shutdown reboot command, or any other command that allows you to shut down or restart.
    Thanks in advance. Otherwise, it works perfectly, and in the Oracular subversion, the recommended one, everything is fine.

    Thanks for letting me know.

    You're correct about this bug in v2.6.1's Plucky variant preventing the shutdown menu from opening. The root cause is I had forgot to update a line in the "polkit" authentication manager the old configuration rules were deprecated since Plucky.

    Plucky is tested with the automated end-to-end integration testing suite with a variety of test images, plus some manual sanity checks of behavior in a virtual machine, but after I had shutdown with the virtual machine's shutdown signal command so I didn't notice this.

    Separately, I am aware there's also an issue with the v2.6.1 Plucky variant's 'Image Explorer (beta)' feature but the default/recommended Oracular variant works fine.

    I have created GitHub issue https://github.com/rescuezilla/rescuezilla/issues/590 and made the trivial fix
