I have the same exact problem. Poweroff just goes back to the login screen with I assume part of the OS services shut down. The only way to "cleanly" power off is to log in and do "sudo /sbin/poweroff now".
What is the root cause here? Wrong service shutdown order? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to rabbitmq-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/670289 Title: Laptop won't shut down with rabbitmq running To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rabbitmq-server/+bug/670289/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
