Shutdown hangs on the Ubuntu 12.04 shutdown screen and does not turn off. A couple of things to note:
1. This problem does not happen all the time. Approximately, for every 4 shutdowns 1 will work and 3 will hang and not complete. The Ubuntu shutdown screen does not display correctly on the 3 failures. "Ubuntu" appears larger than it should and there are no progress dots below it. On the one shutdown that completes "Ubuntu" appears at the right size on the shutdown screen and the progress dots are working. 2. This error coincided with the death of my Graphics card, I have no idea if they were related it was 4 years old so it could have been just normal wear and tear. Anyway whilst I waited for my new card I installed Xubuntu 12.04 on an old Dimension 3000 with integrated graphics, all shutdowns completed correctly. Recieved new graphics yesterday and reinstalled Ubuntu 12.04 on my main machine and shutdown problem persists.
