Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: upstart
I have 9.10 (64bit) installed on a new Lenovo Thinkpad SL500. When I
choose shutdown or reboot from the GUI it appears to shut most things
down, like the GUI, but doesn't switch off the power or reboot. I get
left with a blinking cursor on the console.
If I stop gdm and run halt from the command line I get this:
$ halt
The system is going down for halt NOW!
* Using Makefile-style concurrent boot in runlevel 0
init: rsyslog-kmsg main process (858) killed by TERM signal
init: hal main process (945) teminated with status 1
init: avahi-daemon main process (943) terminated with status 255
modem-manager: Caught signal 15, shutting down...
init: Disconnected from system bus
and then it just sits there until I press and hold the power button.
If I run "halt -f -p" then it doesn't do the normal shutdown process but
it does switch off the power. I've tried putting an explicit "halt -f
-p" at the start of /etc/init.d/halt but that doesn't help.
/etc/default/halt contains the line "HALT=poweroff".
Reboot has the same problem as shutdown, and again "reboot -f" does
reboot but once again doesn't run the shutdown scripts.
