As it is a very frustrating bug which I have for years ,here is a way I
can demonstrate
how to overcome it :
1.Turn off the machine .
Turn on and on GRUB go to recovery mode and start Ubuntu,
The computer will run and end with xxxx-desktop #
Enter gdm and press enter
The Gnome desktop will come up but HAL will not .
Now try to turn off the machine ,To my experience it will shut down ,
So it seems that Hal is responsible for that bug ,I have tried but with
no success ,
May be it is a staring point to tell which process is responsible for
the bug
