Public bug reported:
This issue occurs with Ubuntu Trusty and xdm installed. The system
reacts on [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[Del], which triggers
exec shutdown -h now "Control-Alt-Delete pressed"
without any additional checks via /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf. An
open SSH connection will then also report the "system is going down for
halt NOW!" message, so shutdown initialization works as expected. After
that, the system stays in that state forever
Procedure:
* Boot ubuntu-minimal with X/xdm installed
* Terminate xdm before logging in using [Ctrl]-R
* Send [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[Del]
* Wait ...
I've tried the reboot with both plymouth-disabler missing/installed, but
result is the same.
See the list of running processes during shutdown, It looks like some
deadlock waiting for events.
I failed to verify if the problem is specific to having xdm installed,
the upstart package or some other component, so the bug/misconfiguration
might be in some other package.
