Public bug reported: When shutting down or rebooting from inside KDE, the system locks up before the Kubuntu splash screen appears. I have tried to establish a pattern, and my results were as follows (can't guarantee them 100%):
1) This occurs when I select shutdown or reboot from the KDE K-Menu, but not if I end the session and select shutdown or reboot from the login manager. 2) If I disable the splash screen, this does not occur at all. 3) This occurs with all 2.6.17 Ubuntu kernels I currently have on my system (2.6.17.6-K7 to current). Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- System hang while shutting down from KDE https://launchpad.net/bugs/67186 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
