I'm sorry for spamming the bug list. I don't really expect people to jump to fix the bug, but I'd like at least to know what package is responsible for it (maybe I can reinstall it), places to look for error messages, anything.
I tried checking the logs you mentioned. This is what I did: I opened a terminal, typed "date" (Thu Mar 1 22:06:22 CET 2007), then I clicked shutdown->reboot, the window froze, I switched to a console, typed "date" again (Thu Mar 1 22:06:46 CET 2007) then I rebooted with "sudo shutdown -r now". I couldn't find anything in syslog nor in messages between the two moments. Xorg.0.log has no timestamps, but as far as I can figure it out "Synaptics DeviceOff called" is the first line after starting the reboot. I'll attach them anyway, in case anyone might notice anything. I also saved the entire contents of the /var/log directory (without any sub- directories), so if there's another file that might be useful, please let me know. ** Attachment added: "/var/log/messages" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6583421/messages -- shutdown window freezes everytime https://launchpad.net/bugs/88015 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
