I have the same problem on the latest build of Virtual Box v4.1.12. In both 11.10 and 12.04 beta2 I install Ubuntu Server x86 with nothing but the defaults selected and I get the following:
sudo shutdown now [sudo] password for xxx: Broadcast message from [user]@[server] (/dev/tty1) at 10:36 ... Skip stopping firewall: ufw (not enabled) * Asking all remaining processes to terminate... [ OK ] * Killing all remaining processes... [fail] * Will now switch to singler-user mode [user]@[server]:~# So matter how many times I run sudo shutdown now I get the exact same thing and the server never shuts down. I've tried several of the suggestions above, but given how simple my setup it, I would imagine it should be fairly easy to replicate this.
