The problem still occurs, but there is workaround that works for me: #shutdown sudo initctl start rc RUNLEVEL=0
#reboot sudo initctl start rc RUNLEVEL=6 It is not clear to me, that upstart rc task is stopped after the system was run. All processes started by rc are run so rc should alsrc task looks only as a kind of kick-starter and nothing more. thinkpad ~$ sudo initctl status rc rc stop/waiting upstart in newest Ubuntu 9.10 is not quite stable. It requires more efforts in my opinion, but I may be wrong certainly. Maybe the problem stays somewhere else. -- [Karmic] Hangs during shutdown with kernel 2.6.31-7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/418509 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
