1st, exit your window manager & return to a raw console ;
or you can do 'Control-Alt-F2' to get a raw console.

2nd, from the raw prompt login as root
& do 'shutdown -h now' to power down or 'shutdown -r now' to reboot.

You might have to enable something in a config file somewhere
to allow 'shutdown' to access your mobo off-switch.

It's never sensible to simply press the power button
or your filesystems will need to check themselves on next boot.
