1) Has this problem always been present for you since upgrading both systems to utopic? These systems have been upgraded to Utopic since day 1, but I don't reboot them very often. I cannot say exactly when ti stopped working but I know my laptop at least could be shut down successfully with Utopic and this stopped working. Sorry for not being more precise.
2) Do you have any other systems running utopic that do not manifest the issue? I've a machine running Utopic Server which doesn't have this problem. But the usage is completely different than the 2 other systems. 3) How are you shutting the systems down? Via the Unity menu or via the command line. Both command line and UI fail in the same way. 4) When you say that the problem doesn't happen immediately after boot do you mean that shutdown is always reliable if the system has just booted? Yes. If I boot the system, log in and shutdown/Reboot immediately then it works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371469 Title: system hangs on shutdown/reboot Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On two machines running Utopic Desktop, the system hangs on shutd own/reboot.
