Windows does do that, actually. If it doesn't, it's allowing corruption to build up which will eventually cause the partition to fail.
What's the make and model of your computer? I'm on an HP Pavilion dv9500 and I have similar symptoms, though I don't think the problem is in gnome-utils. Upon shutdown, whether from halt(8) or the User Switcher Applet, the screen goes black. Eventually the system will shut down (I can tell when it kills ALSA, because the mute button on my laptop goes from blue to orange) some of the way, and will stall. If the power cord is plugged in, it will finish shutting down. If not, I have to hold a key down to get it to halt. Sporadically, the progress screen will appear, and I can see that it hangs on the stage, "Waiting for all remaining processes to terminate". -- When I try to shutdown the screen turns black. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309969 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
