Public bug reported:
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.
