Bug Description

I installed Feisty Fawn kubuntu (daily build of 29.03.07), the system was updated daily since then. I choose partitioning by user, letting the installer overwrite my old partitions (/, /home, /tmp, /var, /usr and two! swap partitions on different disks, each 500 MB large).
Problem: The system hangs when shutting down from within kubuntu, screen blanks and nothing happens, keys are dead so that I have to press power off for 5 seconds. It is possible however to logout the user and then shutdown the computer from the kdm-screen. Maybe this happend because I once tried to suspend to disk, which also froze the computer (because I have two swap partitions and/or swap space is not large enough)?

Remarks on the install process:
-) On manual install, after selection a partition, the Edit-button has no function. I used the right-mouse-button, which opend a small menue from which I could select to edit the partition.
-) I selected German as main language. When selecting partitioning by hand (at step: Die Partition vorbereiten) the instruction of what to do in this step is in english, this could be a showstopper for some.

Sorry for my late response, I have been away for a few days. I updated the
system today and the reported problem was gone. I was able to shutdown from
within KDE! I then I tried to suspend to disk, but only the screensaver
started, I guess I don't have enough swap space. The system did shutdown
after this o.k. But after the next boot the same problem is back: The system
hangs when shutting down from within kubuntu, screen blanks and nothing
happens, keys are dead so that I have to press power off for 5 seconds.
