> Sometime it works with command: shutdown now -h

That refers to bug #880240, which is not the bug reported by the
submitter.  The 'halt' command does not do what people assume it does.
You need to call either 'shutdown -h now', or 'poweroff', or 'halt -p'.

The bug here is with the system not shutting down when shut down from
the GUI - that's not at all due to a user calling the wrong command from
the commandline.  Perhaps the GUI makes the same wrong assumption and
calls 'halt' when it should not, or perhaps there's a hardware-specific
issue with the poweroff handling.  (This would not be the first time
that had happened, but most such problems were long ago with a much less
mature kernel.)

** Summary changed:

- no complete shutdown
+ System does not power off reliably when "Shut Down" chosen from GUI
