There's a couple of bugs there, one is simply that the error is "unhandled" - could you open an Upstream bug about that alone ("shutdown: doesn't handle error from sysv_change_runlevel")
I'm not sure why it did not receive a reply, it should contact the init daemon directly. Obvious question - is shutdown being run as a normal user or as root? -- Clicking reboot doesn't actually reboot the system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412825 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
