OK i have had this problem since i first installed 9.10 in November 2009. I have since had about 6 or 7 kernel updates and the problem has persisted.,
Currently i have 2.6.32-16-386 #24-Ubuntu SMP Sat Mar 6 15:33:03 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux Reboot, shutdown, suspend and hibernate all fail, every time. I see this if i issue a "shutdown" from maintenance mode init: rsyslog-kmsg main process (996) Killed by TERM signal init: hal main process (1034) terminated with status 1 init: avahi-daemon main process (1042)n terminated with status 255 *stopping TiMidity++ Alsa midi emulation... modemmanager: caught signal 15, shutting down... init: disconnecting from system bus... _ And then i just get a blinking cursor top left until i i power if off with the button - my hard drive makes a nasty clicking noise when i do this so i'm not happy with that. This really is a serious problem and widespread too. Any idea's anyone before i smash this netbook to pieces in a frustrated rage or it melts and catches fire in my bag as it cooks until the battery runs out :) -- [Karmic] Hangs during shutdown with kernel 2.6.31-7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/418509 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
