When I do "shutdown -r 0" as root boot is executed nicely. Says "*Will now reboot" and reboots.
On the other hand when I do "shutdown 0" as root the last message in standard output is "*Will now halt..." and then comes Mr. Freeze. I can even hear the hardrive shutting down but then it just freezes. "poweroff" (with any option) gives the same result. Executing "poweroff -f" the screen freezes instantly after printing "Powering off". Therefore I think the problem is in somewhere between Halt / Poweroff and hardware. At the moment with Lenovo S205 Ideapad and 11.10 the only way to shutdown seems to be is by pressing power button. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880240 Title: ubuntu 11.10 : the system doesn't turn off if "sudo halt" is given To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/880240/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
