Ensure that the consolekit service is enabled in the default runlevel:
rc-update add consolekit default

I've noticed that on x86 machines only logout is shown in Plasma, but
upon logging out, the SDDM interface has reboot/power off in the top
right corner. Those buttons do work. I'm not sure why Plasma isn't
detecting CK2; it's possible they removed support in 5.18. If someone
has time to inspect that, it would be helpful.
but from a terminal /sbin/reboot,poweroff,shutdown should all work regardless, whether the
user has rights to use them (or sudo /sbin/shutdown should work if your user belongs to
wheel group) it has to do with /etc/group and/or policy kit.
Could it be that dbus also in not running properly along with ck? In Obarun dbus must run
for the entire system as root and as user for plasma stuff to work. How it can be
achieved here so plasma functions can be completed I wouldn't know. I'd never use
it myself.
