Bug Description
I am using Ubuntu 8.10, x86_64 architecture (amd64).
This problem is not only problem of Ubuntu 8.10, it is also a problem of Ubuntu 8.04, 7.10 and 7.04, at least.
I am using a Packard Bell (Easynote) laptop computer.
When I shutdown or hibernate the laptop, it says that is (maybe) something wrong with usb, it sends the power-down signal but it does not switch off. I have to do it manually.
When I try to suspend it, it does not suspend correctly, it stops working at all (blocked), I have to switch off, reboot and
fsck starts working.
Besides, when I leave my computer some time (15 or 20 minutes with the screensaver), it hangs out (no reactions to anything), and I have to reboot uncleanly, so I decided to turn off the screensaver.
Is there any solution?

That bug depends on the laptop. I have bought a new one because it was more expensive to repair the old one than to buy a new one. Different brand (Toshiba) and different behaviour: not problems at all in Ubuntu 9.10. So, now we know that Packard Bell was absorbed by Acer, we can consider not to buy Acer or Packard Bell computers nor laptops to avoid known problems.
