Here's some incomplete for now notes on getting this up:

• Need to use ubuntu 22
• install tigervnc to connect
• Follow instructions from here to be able to reboot from a tigervnc session:

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2844 

AdminIdentities=unix-user:user

needs to put in a file called /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/99-my-admin-configuration.conf

and just to be on the safe side also in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/60-desktop-policy.conf

these two extra files don't fix the problem but they should provide your main user account (obviously if your user name is not user then change the username accordingly) with some admin id

Make Display red:
redshift -O 1000

Reset Display
redshift -x

next you need to create another pkla file

/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/allow_all_users_to_shutdown_reboot_suspend.pkla

which should contain (again if your username is different change user to that name)(I have found this solution works with lxde on lightdm (now am currently searching for a solution to allow lightdm to shutdown when one logs out which I am sure must be something like this)
