Ubuntu fails to shut down

Bug Description

When I installed from the Kubuntu Intrepid Beta 64-bit CD, everything seemed to work fine.

However, I have installed all the updates in Synaptic, and this has broken something.

When I try to shut down the system, KDE shuts down OK, and I get a console window giving me the details of various other things that are shutting down. At the top, I can see “usplash: setting mode 1152x864 failed”. There are various other lines, and then it hangs on “* Shutting down ALSA”.

At that point, hitting Ctrl-Alt-Backspace seems to kick it into finishing its job, sometimes. It then proceeds to the Usplash screen with the Kubuntu logo, and eventually shuts down, but immediately restarts.

Oops, I meant to say Ctrl-Alt-Del.

In any case, I have now reinstalled with the 32-bit edition of Intrepid, and all is OK.

I've now re-installed the final release of the 64-bit edition of Intrepid, and there is no more shutdown problem for me (either before or after installing updates).

So, it seems to be fixed. I don't know whether this is connected to the on-going problem that this bug was marked a duplicate of.
