Dell Inspiron 9400 - Can't Properly Shutdown Ubuntu 14.04

[Lonnie Lee Best]

Because of another issue (with my network card), I'm submitting this bug using the Live CD.

The issue is, I cannot properly shutdown Ubuntu 14.04 on this Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop.

After initiating a shutdown, it goes to the Ubuntu splash screen (I guess you call it) where there is a progress bar like thing under the word Ubuntu.

It will never get passed this screen. Ultimately, I have to hold down the power button for 5 seconds to shut it down.
