I think the answer should be plain: Use any of the /etc/rc.local scripts or create a new one. Add the following three lines:
#/bin/bash sudo gru halt Here's an explanation: I use my GRUB to halt the system in its shell. That;s what everyone said. They reboot to power their systems off. What if we could enter the GRUB shell and do this by itself? I haven't tried this y self so don't make me responsible for any damage to unmounted file systems. That can cause loss of data.

Try installing it on a clean, small, IDE hard drive and boot from it. -- Shut Down won't power off https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42160 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
