Having this problem on EeePC 701, using Aug 31 daily build, updated since. Logoff only takes me to GDM login. shutdown from there leaves OS closed, but Eee powered up. "sudo shutdown -P now" has exactly the same result. Black screen & power on.
My current workaround is to get it to this state & hold down the power button for 5+ seconds. As things stand, I'd call this a "Showstopper" -- shutdown and restart buttons do nothing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250506 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
