Cannot shut down or restart from GUI - system freezes - in 32 bit system too.

Problem is somehow related to network manager. Disabling roaming mode and
changing Connection Settings to DHCP fixed the errors.

[pehaimi (perttu-haimi)]

Or, to be more precise: After disabling roaming mode and enabling DHCP, the bug is not triggered anymore.

Looks like another "shutdown no powerdown" problem in Generics 7 & 8!!
Version 6.10 worked ok !!!

The problem: At the shutdown menu:
            Restart works fine (re-boots)
            Shutdown closes th system (halt with spash still on screen , must use hard POWER button)
            Suspend blanks the screen, must Button power off & re-boot to get back.

I tried the "acpi=force apm=power_off" suggestion by gedit of grub in /root , NG

My own thoughts on the problem is in the /boot image files or the INIT files that have a
mis-typed default setting in acpi sections, since "grub" commands don't seem to work.
(do grub commands really change the "image file" defaults or just "running image" ??)

My system is Ubuntu 8.10 (updated from 7.04)
on Dell 1503 dual proccesser hardware, with Windows Vesta as the primary environment.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.

Unfortunately it seems this bug is still an issue. Can you confirm this issue exists with the most recent Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 release - http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-9.04-desktop . Please let us know your results. Thanks.

Confirmed.
For my system collect, see bug: 380383.

Everyone, just reinstall your initscripts from package manager.... this was my experience.

Problem at shutdown failure at deactivating Swap.... Solved on Karmic Ubuntu

After over a month, desperately searching the INTERNET launchpad and wherever the search engines took me. I found the solution for my system. It is so simple I'm surprised none of the experts of the many many forums ever suggested it.

I forced my system off, i restarted to bios and power it off from there, tried to modify scripts and power down using various commands, yet it all failed, the hours & hours wasted. After almost giving up & waiting for the next major update to Lucid Lynx meaning months to shutdown my system properly (silly but well what can i say)

OK to the point.... which really really doesn't make me happy.... because of its simplicity.

I decided to find some shutdown tools in the hope that an advanced tool might help... So I Entered Synaptic Package Manager

Did a search... typed shut (& of course the results had a few tools for shutting down) or you can search initscripts which is my solution

1. I right clicked (sweet no command line)
2. Mark for re-installation (sweet so simple)
3. Apply & let the task complete

4. Reboot / perhaps shutdown & your computer powers off itself (You must love technology that turns off when you tell it to)

As a new user, why of why didn't anyone say i could have reinstalled that, i was thinking how to reinstall shutdown but didn't know the term i needed. I'd be interested to know, does this solve a
