Hi- I was at a friends and his dell computer wouldn't shut down right. It is Ubuntu 12.04. It hung on shutdown. "Available to all users" did nothing to solve this for my friend. I tried maybe the uncovential method of renaming /etc/init/plymouth.conf to ... plymouth.conf.disabled. After that, I had to go to rescue system to put it back by renaming it back to original. I had to mount root in rescue system as read/write to rename again. Plymouth on crunchbang didn't work for me on usb live persistent, but that is another story. My thought was, as per other peoples reports, to disable plymoth to eliminate that plymouth was causing this problem.
My friend has a pc that he can't shut down, unless he holds down the power button. I don't know what to tell him at this point. Using the command line to shut down doesn't work either. It seems weird that I run unbuntu 12.04 and my pc works fine and his doesn't. I think it is a hardware related issue with a driver or firmware or something different. I can brag and say that I have a ZaReason, but my friend is not so lucky. I am going to tell him to either buy dell for linux, system76 or zareason if he wants a new one. I can't fix it :-( I gave up after having to go to rescue mode and undo disabiling plymouth. thanks, mtdew3q -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1019347 Title: A message: "mount: / is busy" appears every time shutting down or rebooting.
