If after "sudo shutdown now", the "rescue menu" shows up, the output of "cat /var/log/messages | grep bonobo" is empty (I checked that twice).

After this reboot the outcome was: Jan 9 18:23:47 representation bonobo-activation-server (piotr-10916): could not associate with desktop session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-Fke4TiRjN7: Connection refused -- [Karmic] After shutdown from CLI system reboots into recovery menue instead of shutting down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/414716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
