Today, after updating Linux to 2.6.31-22.61 (had been ... .60), not only did Ubuntu not shut down from the menu item, which has been the case around 80-90% of the time for a while now, but when I attempted to do my usual "sudo shutdown -P now" from the cntr-alt-F2 terminal, that also did not work.
It started to. I saw lines of processes it was shutting down. Normally, next, the terminal disappears and the Ubuntu logo appears for about ten seconds, then the terminal reappears, and I start to see it saying something about stopping the hard disk, and powering down, and the computer shuts off. This time, after the initial list of processes being shut down, the image disappeared, and the monitor went into sleep mode, as it was receiving nothing to display. That's how it stayed. After waiting about five minutes, I had to press the power button (and hold it) before the computer would shut down. Nothing seems out of the ordinary today when booting, but we'll see what happens when I am finished... -- Computer won't turn off when using Shut Down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581520 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
