[Bug 987220] Re: System does not power off reliably when Shut Down chosen from GUI

2012-07-26 Thread Lucy O'Neill
At last tried it myself and - with NVidia proprietary driver back installed - 
problem is present. The solution i've got seems not working for me neither.
So i suppose it does work in some cases - but is not (and shouldn't be treated 
as) solving the issue for everyone.
For now i don't have NVidia installed and things are fine, graphic improved a 
little with recent updates. So we may not need proprietary drivers at all in 
the future, being fully replaced by system default ones.
But it doesn't mean that we're defeated - there MUST be some way to fix it!

Hi again, just by accident found on some foreign ubuntu forum solution that 
might be checked out; i have to leave right now so cannot play with it - but if 
someone wants, feel free to try.
They say it's acpi issue and it has to be switched on in GRUB
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=acpi=on

sudo update-grub

they maintain that it works on Dell laptops

Lads - this is NOT my solution, just found it browsing other potential sources.
It comes from polish Ubuntu forum. Topic was closed so i presumed they've 
sorted it out.
I'm so glad it works, soon will try on my own XPS M1530.

In my case - uninstalling all proprietary NVidia drivers solved the problem 
(Dell XPS M1530) but have to put up with rather crappy graphic; SMPlayer 
doesn't work and launcher  icons pretty big (it can be fixed though) - but at 
least system shuts down no problem and it was the aim.
We just have to be patiens i suppose and wait for a final solution.
