[ubuntu-uk] Shut down button missing on upgrade

You'll need the shutdown type I think along with that

sudo shutdown -P now
For a power off, or
sudo shutdown -r now
For a reboot

As an emergency measure when this happens, you can do 'ctrl+alt+F2' 
which gives you a command prompt and then do 'sudo shutdown now' to turn 
off properly rather than the brute force method.
