GDM power/reboot not working

[Scott Dennis]

I found in ubuntu 19.10 that on the GDM login screen, the dropdown menu with power button, don't work for restart or power off. We have to login and restart or power off after logging in. I am not sure what package the GDM power menu is in.

Ok, odd if its been in the system that long, from may when in alpha state,
then why did they let it go and appear in the final. I wonder if we could
downgrade to an older gdm version that works. As its obvious the guy who
works on gdm don't care. He was prolly high as a kite. Hence the reason I
never report bugs, this is my first with ubuntu, other programs I find bugs
in the past I reported and the problem was never fixed. So from here on out
I won't report a bug to you guys again. I'll fix them myself and not tell
you idiots about it or how I fixed it. Period.
