Dell Inspiron 1520 and Ubuntu 12.04. Upgraded from previous LTS where it worked.
Shutdown isn't working. Nvidia here, I will not remove it as I don't believe there is a relationship - it may only be a workaround.
I intend to stay on this LTS. I refuse to change any BIOS settings as it worked previously.

Other, perhaps unrelated:
- Sometimes X11 have 100% CPU and everything freezes
- ctrl-alt-f1 does not show a text terminal
- often kernel oopses, more info here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1154006
