Bug Description

I installed Easyshutdown 0.6 on Ubuntu 14.04 and, to my disappointment, I discovered that tha PC didn't turn off.

Actally, there seem to be any action on the system. The counter just goes to zero and nothng more.

OK, I found the problem: on Ubuntu 14.04 consolekit is not preinstalled by default.

SOLUTION:
Type in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install consolekit

That's it. It should work now.
