Bug Description

Using the halt command either in a console or via ssh causes the shutdown process to begin but hangs the computer near the end. The screen presents the splash screen. The dots stop changing. Need to power off (5 seconds).
This situation comes from kubuntu 11.10 and is still happening on 12.04.
