HI All,
From what I have read there seem to be several problems within this thread. I am having the same issue as originally stated. When powering down or restarting the system seems to hang, the operating system shuts down but the hardware never turns off.
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a Dell D630 core duo. I have 2GB of Ram and I am running Nvidia graphics. I have gone into the BIOS and disabled all unnecessary hardware( modem, bluetooth and a few others)
As a side note upon the original installation of the OS the shutdown and restart worked fine. The problems did not start until the second update of the operating system. Then it would not restart properly, then the third or fourth update the shutdown would not work properly.
