I'm experience some issues regarding the shutdown. I'm used to watch tv series while I'm on the bed and I set the shutdown in order to switch off the machine after I fall asleep. The point is that ubuntu get stuck in the splash screen and never shutdown. In fact, the next morning I found it still on with the splash frozen.
To reproduce the bug it's very simple.
1. boot ubuntu without splash screen
2. log in
3. run vlc with any kind of video
4. sudo shutdown -h now
5. I get the screen I've posted below.

Hey valeriogiuffrida,
You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.
If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting
the fix, please indicate that. Or if having the fix in the new release
is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll
close it.)
If it's not solved, leave the bug report open. I can't promise we'll
get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but
your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do.
