shutdown / reboot improperly terminates processes

[taka k.]

Binary package hint: upstart

upon shutting down or rebooting the system, either through the menu or by using the command line /sbin/shutdown, running processes are not terminated correctly. i've noticed the following after rebooting:

- openoffice documents, though saved, are marked as 'lost' or something, because, after opening openoffice, it prompts me to 'recover' documents
- after opening gnucash, it says it "could not obtain the lock for" my database.
- commands that i had previously typed in gnome-terminal have not been saved in my ~/.bash_history

Hi scar, this appears to be a duplicate of bug #665185 , which is fixed in lucid-proposed right now. Marking this as a duplicate of that. You may want to enable proposed (directions linked in comments of that bug) and see if this issue is resolved. If it is, report back there, and we can release as an update to lucid.

i enabled -proposed but after updating the database, it doesn't show any upgrades for sysvinit. i don't even have sysvinit installed currently.
