I have been having this problem with a fresh install of both Ubuntu
8.04, 7.10, and Xubuntu 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron 700m. Currently, I'm
using Xubuntu 8.04 exclusively. There appears to be multiple triggers
for this bug, hence the wildly different fixes that work for different
people.
The first trigger for me was fixed by the 915resolution package. This
would consistently happen on logout as well as any flavor of shutdown.
The second, more obnoxious trigger seems to be when the machine is
permitted to go idle. If I use the machine constantly, I never have the
problem. If I forget about it for an hour or so, it happens. I was
able to reduce the incidence of this by extending the time before power
management features kick in, but obviously this is not an ideal
solution, as my laptop's batteries are being unnecessarily drained,
making resolution of this bug critical for me. However, even in this
case, if the machine is idle long enough, it will fail to shutdown,
suspend, or hibernate.
I have used the /boot/grub/menu.lst changes suggested without having the
problem fixed, however, I have not had the /etc/modules fix in place, so
I will see how that is behaving.
