> Sometime it works with command: shutdown now -h > It never works with command: halt
That refers to bug #880240, which is not the bug reported by the submitter. The 'halt' command does not do what people assume it does. You need to call either 'shutdown -h now', or 'poweroff', or 'halt -p'. The bug here is with the system not shutting down when shut down from the GUI - that's not at all due to a user calling the wrong command from the commandline. Perhaps the GUI makes the same wrong assumption and calls 'halt' when it should not, or perhaps there's a hardware-specific issue with the poweroff handling. (This would not be the first time that had happened, but most such problems were long ago with a much less mature kernel.) ** Summary changed: - no complete shutdown + System does not power off reliably when "Shut Down" chosen from GUI -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987220 Title: System does not power off reliably when "Shut Down" chosen from GUI Status in The Session Menu: Incomplete Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Shutting down the computer using the menue does not work always correct. It often does not complete turn off the computer. The power LED and the LED of the bluetooth unit remain on. Also the fan is still running and won't stop. Shutting down the computer with "sudo shutdown -h now" using the terminal works fine. I am using a Dell Inspiron 1720.
