After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04 from Ubuntu 8.10 I got the same issue. System is up-to-date.
When I press "Shutdown" button the screen goes blank than it shows me login screen. Expected result - computer shutdown. If I try "sudo halt" command - it works fine, computer shuts off. uname -a = "Linux mot-b 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux" ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => In Progress -- Shutdown from meny does not shutdown computer, goes to GDM login screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/8238 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
