ASUSTeK Computer INC. 1005HA karmic hungs on shutdown

[Jordi Guillaumes]

Karmic hangs during shutdown, after printing "deactivating swap" at the console. Reboot works fine. The last message in /var/log/messages (before the next boot) is "kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped.", so I'm afraid whatever happens is not logged anywhere.

The problem seems to be fixed in 2.6.31-generic #48-Ubuntu.

[Matteo Rossi (teo-red90)]

I still experience this bug after update to 2.6.31.17-generic #54-Ubuntu.

I fixed the bug after update to 2.6.31.16-generic using the workaround provided here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/468589/comments/19

but now the bug appears again.

I'm using a fresh install of 9.10 on a dedicated partition -no Wubi- with other two NTFS partitions.

Problem at shutdown failure at deactivating Swap.... Solved on Karmic Ubuntu

After over a month, desperately searching the INTERNET launchpad and wherever the search engines took me. I found the solution for my system. It is so simple I'm surprised none of the experts of the many many forums ever suggested it.

I forced my system off, i restarted to bios and power it off from there, tried to modify scripts and power down using various commands, yet it all failed, the hours & hours wasted. After almost giving up & waiting for the next major update to Lucid Lynx meaning months to shutdown my system properly (silly but well what can i say)

OK to the point.... which really really doesn't make me happy.... because of its simplicity.

I decided to find some shutdown tools in the hope that an advanced tool might help... So I Entered Synaptic Package Manager

Did a search... typed shut (& of course the results had a few tools for shutting down) or you can search initscripts which is my solution

1. I right clicked (sweet no command line)
2. Mark for re-installation (sweet so simple)
3. Apply & let the task complete

4. Reboot / perhaps shutdown & your computer powers off itself (You must love technology that turns off when you tell it to)

As a new user, why of why didn't anyone say i could have reinstalled that, i was thinking how to reinstall shutdown but didn't know the term i needed. I'd be interested to know, does this solve a
