I can confirm this bug here on a Toshiba Satellite U400, Ubuntu 8.10, latest updates up to Oct 13, 2008.

It works in my case: In /etc/init.d/alsa-utils comment the line "mute_and_zero_levels "$TARGET_CARD" || EXITSTATUS=1" to "#mute_and_zero_levels "$TARGET_CARD" || EXITSTATUS=1". The mute_and_zero_levels call waits a very long time. In my case, I even thought it was forever. By the way, I think it used to work about one month ago, but I'm not sure which alsa-utils version this was. -- Shutdown pauses till ALSA times out. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280305 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
