If I shutdown as root the other active user acounts should not bother in anyway. However I did tested logging out and shutting down the computer only as root. Did not make any difference. The problem is still there.
I have notice also that sometimes when I run "sudo shutdown 0" or "sudo shutdown -P 0" the computer first tries to start sendmail program and then makes a reboot. That is even more annoying than just freezing. :) -- 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
