Public bug reported:
On my Intel D915 based motherboard based computer, if I shutdown using
the menu in gdm using NX from a remote computer or use sudo shutdown now
from a ssh terminal (also remote) or from a terminal on the remote NX
session it doesn't shut down. However, if I use sudo shutdown -P now
from a terminal in NX (remote) or a remote ssh terminal (without NX), it
does power off nicely.
When it doesn't power off I get a screen asking if I want to drop into
the root shell, or fix packages, or clean packages or reconfigure X
(once I disabled splash in grub). Of course, I can't do much if I am
remote at this point, either to finish shutting down or drop into a
shell, as networking is already shut down. I kind of think maybe it
would be nice if gdm issued the -P option on its implementation of
shutdown for turning off the computer.

Shutdown from Menu doesn't work, but "sudo shutdown -P now" does if executed
from a remote computer.
