Joakim Langvand, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please just make a comment to this. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - System randomly fails to shut down + [MacBook7,1] System randomly fails to shut down ** Tags added: bios-outdated-2012 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1178720 Title: [MacBook7,1] System randomly fails to shut down Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Update: It seems like this happens only when multiple users are logged in, and the problem stil exists in the 3.9.0 Mainline kernel. When trying to power off or reboot the system, I get this output from the terminal (reconstructed from memory): * Asking all remaining services to terminate... [OK] * Kiling all remaining processes... [FAIL] * Switching to single-user mode... It then drops to a root shell. When I try to reboot or shutdown from there, I get the same error. I have to do a hard shutdown and then power the computer on again. Sometimes it fails to boot without any output (it gets stuck on a blinking underscore in the upper left corner. EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR When attempting to reboot or shut down with multiple users logged in, I would expect a warning about their programs being closed. After accepting, all users should be logged out and the computer halted.
