2010-01-14 16:54:15 RobertH description I was so pleased with Ubuntu (9.10) on my desktop that I installed it on my Acer TravelMate 4001LMi laptop, too. However, on the laptop (but not on the desktop) I cannot shut down properly. I get a black screen, most usually with the following text: "* Stopping MySQL database server mysqld...done * Shutting down Alsa... * Asking remaining processes to terminate... * Deconfiguring network interfaces... * Deactivating Swap... * Will now halt" (Flashing cursor) Sometimes the text is: "Ubuntu 9.10 (my computer name) tty1 (my computer name) login:" (flashing cursor) On one occasion I got: "Ubuntu 9.10 (my computer name) tty1 (my computer name) login: init: usplash main process (10187) killed by TERM signal" Sometimes I just get a black screen with a white flashing cursor. In all cases it hangs there and does not completely shut down. Restart works normally. I have WinXP installed on a separate partition and this shuts down normally. Updating with all recommended updates including the latest kernel version did not solve the problem. I have now reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10 freshly, but the problem remains. I'd be very grateful for help to triage this bug. Many thanks. I was so pleased with Ubuntu (9.10) on my desktop that I installed it on my Acer TravelMate 4001LMi laptop, too.
