Bug Description

I have an old acer travelmate 1680 and i had a fresh instalation of ubuntu 10.04 beta2.

When i shutdown, it hangs on the shutdown image, and doesn't fully shutdow. I discover if i press de F1 key after hiting the shutdown icon and before the splash image that the computer can shutdown with sucess, so i think the problem is due with shutdown splash

****2.6.35-rc1 Lucid tested *****

What's the video card in this? I see this problem (but I'm unable to test F1 - I'm not with the notebook right now) with a Radeon Mobility HD 4650 (an r600 series chip), only when kernel modeset is enabled.

I have the same problem on an Acer Aspire 1680 with a fresh install of 10.04.

Again pressing the F1 key after hitting shutdown results in a successful shutdown.

With Ubuntu 10.04 final
I do have the same behaviopur on my acer 5536 (ATI Technologies Inc M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series])
But In my case, I don't think it is a splash problem :
if I press F1, it does not help : it hangs on "system will now halt" ... but it does not power off the laptop.
So it seems that the system does not know how to do the final halt step.

Interesting Note : If I choose 'restart' instead of stopping the laptop, it works :
at the shutdown screen after F1, it is displayed "system will now restart" ... and it works : the laptop is resetted.

Hi there all.
I've installed ubuntu 10.04 final and im running into the same problem as all of you.
I've got a Acer Aspire 5536G and my notebook hangs when i try to shutdown.

I've tried to press F1 on shutdown but system still hangs.

I didn't try to press "restart"

I've figured out that if you install the drivers for the ATI gfx my system will shutdown and will not hang anymore. (I dont want to use 10.04 driver from the ATI site, because it doesnt support my second screen and hdmi port)

Hope someone/ubuntu finds or make's a fix for this.

I have the same issue. I have an old Fujitsu-Siemens C-1020 laptop with a Savage Pro graphic card.
Also I've noticed that the /etc/default/grub file is missing.
Everything is working fine with the exception of restart or shutting down the machine. I'll try the F1 key trick to see if is any difference.

Last Saturday I bit the bullet and upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04. I immediately began experiencing the problem identified in this post - shutdown would hang at the Ubuntu logo with sequential dots, but in very low pixel and color resolution. The F1 trick works for me. I am running 10.04 on a IBM R40 with 1.an ATI Radeon video chipset. Here are the details of my video:

Thanks Eric, but the PC is destined for a non-technical person, so stable kernel is safer than development at this stage.

also noted in my latest tests in the kern.log

NVRM : Unable to connect to ACPI subset! or something similar

A friend of mine with an Acer Aspire 1680 running Ubuntu 10.4 came to me telling shutdown didn't work for him, so i found this thread while trying to help. I updated to the latest kernel (this happened on 9/18/2010 and an update to the kernel had been released a few hours before) but it didn't help. Then i had and idea: just getting rid of the splash screen, i.e. changing

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""

in /etc/default/grub

and running:

sudo update-grub

and this worked!

My friend now thinks seeing kernel startup/shutdown messages is much nicer than a purple screen with blinking dots...

My motherboard is a Gigabyte EX58-UD5.

This problem on shutdown wasn't native on my configuration for Ubuntu 10.04. It appear after some update, about one month ago I think.
And it's not related with the splash graphical login/logout.
Indeed removing "quiet splash" from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT doesn't resolve the problem... it still hang on
"Will now halt"

Instead, in my case, as reported in comment #10, adding acpi=force to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT worked.

Yes for me this problem still persist on Ubuntu 10.4 with latest update.
And "force=acpi" stopped working, so now I'm unable to shutdown correctly the pc from gui menu.

Instead, as reported here http://wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1597567, sudo halt work and the pc shutdown without problem.

Hello Fabio.

The report is sent. I was in the middle of the distribution upgrade process,
and I hope the report is not altered.

Good luck,

Hello Cristi
Does the upgrade fix the problem ?

Hello Fabio.

The system upgrade didn't fix the issue :). From what I see it seems that
things are happening faster than in previous version (freezing the machine).
Anyway the upgrade process didn't go smoothly and now I am unable to log in
into the Gnome session (login screen loop), only KDE seems to work (not the
shut down sequence). The kernel's versions are 35-22 and 35-25, both with
the same behavior (normal login). But, if I use the recovery mode with root
or netroot, after launching the X-server I am able to use the Gnome session,
and miraculously the system responds to restart and to shut down sequence (I
have to wait only for about 10s for the process to be completed). If you
need something from the data registered in the root session, just let me
know. It is strange and frustrating. Even on login screen if I want to
restart the system or to shut down, the computer freezes. But it seems to
work fine on root account.

Good luck,
Cristian Nistor

Hello Fabio.

The latest kernel doesn't bring anything new :). Same login screen loop for
Gnome Session and the machine is freezing if restart or shut down option is
used.

Finally I managed to make it work. I've installed the latest version of
Ubuntu on a VirtualBox environment, and I've noticed that xsession is taking
care of output display settings and xorg.conf file is not necessary anymore.
So, I simply rename it and I was able to login to Gnome session. And I am
able now to reboot and to shut down the machine (kernel versions 2.6.35-22
and 2.6.35-25, the 35RC1 throws some errors). At first sight, it seems that
the xorg.conf file was causing the mess and, making it unavailable, solved
my problem. Definitely it was something related to the video card settings.

thom thanks for your hint but it doesn't apply to my hardware configuration.

I am experiencing the same symptoms on a Dell Latitude E6410 laptop with Intel graphics. Ubuntu 11.10. Switching to a non-graphics terminal (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F1) allows shutdown to continue to completion.

Pedro Ribeiro, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
