I did stick sudo infront of shutdown -r now and it is because I was not asked to enter a password that I think that the process doesn't get as far as executing the command.

I remembered this had happened before and did what I'd done previously to solve this, go to the settings app shutdown section and replace the commands used (can't remember what they were except the reboot one was "restart") with shutdown -P now and shutdown -r now. So I did this again and still nothing. I get the impression that these commands are not being executed at all, that hitting the button does absolutely naff all.Possibly needs gksudo (or the Kubunutu equivalent to gksudo) before each of the shutdown commands?
