This is more related to the nvidia driver, so switching over from kernel makes sense...
The nvidia-current-updates unfortunately behaves exactly as nvidia- current, so it doesn't work. Current version at the moment of writing: 304.51-0ubuntu1 Anything else I can provide? :-) About the issues with nouveau: I think someone who acually uses it should report it, since I need this computer alot, alos for work stuff and I don't want to switch drivers all the time. Besides I think its a general thing that CUDA needs nvidia drivers ;-) Sry. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069551 Title: shutdown command does not power off the machine Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: While using nvidia-current, If I try to shutdown the machine, it goes to a black screen, backlight still on and nothing happens anymore. The before suggested acpi=force did not help unfortunately. The problem started after the update from 12.04 -> 12.10 Ok, so I uninstalled nvidia-current and virtual box, and installed the mainline uname -r 3.7.0-030700rc1-generic With the mainline shutdown seemed to work ok. WORKAROUND: Use nouveau. I then uninstalled the mainline and reinstalled the ubuntu default kernel (without nvidia-current): uname -r 3.5.0-17-generic With this, the shutdown worked as well.
