Rawhide:
Clicked on the power button symbol in the upper right hand corner of
the GDM desktop and chose "Power Off". Nothing. Clicked it again,
just in case. Nothing.
Okay, so Ctrl-Alt-F3, login as root, and then this:
[root@jerry-rawhide32 ~]# shutdown -P now
Unknown operation now
[root@jerry-rawhide32 ~]# man shutdown
Nope, I had the syntax right. Well, there's a poweroff command,
right? Haven't used it for awhile...
[root@jerry-rawhide32 ~]# man poweroff
man: can't open /usr/share/man/halt.8: No such file or directory
[root@jerry-rawhide32 ~]# man halt
Okay, that worked. I don't need to pass any arguments, just plain
poweroff. Cool.
[root@jerry-rawhide32 ~]# poweroff

Okay, I give up. How am I supposed to turn this thing off?
Shutting down can occasionally get a bit wiggy after a systemd version
update. Was this right after you did a big F16 -> F17 yum update or
anything? If so, you may find you have to just suck it up and hard power
off one time, then it'll be back to working properly on the next boot.
