This looks somewhat like a problem I've been having but mine is on FEs. 
I have MythFrontend running on 3 different machines, two Zotac ID-36 and 
one Zotac AD-03, all running Mythbuntu 14.04 and Myth 0.27.3. The Exit 
and Shutdown function worked perfectly with Precise but not at all with 
Trusty; using either keyboard or remote if I hit Esc from the main menu 
the "Do you really want to exit MythTV? box duly comes up with the three 
options. The first two work fine but the 3rd (Exit and Shutdown) just 
causes the box to disappear and the mouse pointer to become visible for 
a few seconds. When I mentioned this earlier I saw the suggestion to try

|user_name ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff, /sbin/reboot, /sbin/shutdown|

to sudoers which I did with user_name = MythTV and with my own 
user_name, with no discernible effect.

Is there a known reason why Exit and Shutdown worked as expected with 
Precise but not at all with Trusty?
