Affects Linux Mint Petra as well. I'm on Samsung NF-210. Issuing 'init 6' seems to kill processes and hung at blank screen. This actually has started quite a while ago.. >1 year ago. Then I used to notice this problem when hibernating with 's2disk' or 's2both' after using computer for a while (never occurred on a fresh boot). It used to fail to poweroff (although succeeded to dump the image) then too, but I decided it's simply because there are too many applications open and there's simply not enough of swap memory to store the image, or something like that... However a few weeks ago 'init 6' started to fail as well as simple shutdown...
Dunno if this could be related, but samsung-tools started to fail in re- enable wifi after waking up the OS from SLEEP (s2ram). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987220 Title: [Dell Inspiron 1720] System does not power off reliably when "Shut Down" chosen from GUI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-session/+bug/987220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
