The behavior you describe is the expected when using the halt command. It shuts down all software, but does not shutdown the computer hardware itself. Perhaps instead of "halt" you could use "shutdown -P now". Please see the "man shutdown" for details.
Thank you for making ubuntu better. Feel free to submit any future bugs you may find. |

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Now that I do understand, I'm confirming this bug.
To reproduce:
1. edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Add after last entry -
title Shut down
halt
2. save the file
3. restart the system
4. choose Shut down from the boot menu
5. Observe the flashing "-" cursor; also note that the system has not shutdown, since a ctrl+alt+del will restart the system
6. Further, if you choose "c" for command line at the boot menu, hit TAB for commands, you will see "halt" as one of the commands. Type "halt" and hit enter.
The system now has no cursor, but has not shutdown. The keyboard is mostly inactive and the screen will not change. However, again the ctrl+alt+del will restart the system.
Expected behavior for both of these cases is that the system should perform a system shutdown. It should not simply halt keyboard input.
Thanks for your assistance in improving Ubuntu. |
