The logout/shutdown/restart buttons on the graphical interface sometimes don't work(Ubuntu Budgie 26.04 wayland)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntubudgie-dev/polkit

sudo apt full-upgrade

reboot –


to remove the PPA

sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntubudgie-dev/polkit

reboot –


This PPA is the same as 26.04 but includes a patch specifically for the polkit dialog - the dialog that displays when you try to use an app like gnome-disks / sddm-customize and it asks for a sudo username/password.

What I’m hoping is that this also resolves the logout/shutdown issues where the popup dialogs dont show.

If those issues still occurs then this is a separate issue that needs investigating.
