Stephen Helden, as per http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3860070#N870 an update is available for your BIOS (F.54 A). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Summary changed: - 12.04 "hangs" on shutdown when using 3.2 kernal + [Compaq Presario CQ60-215DX Notebook PC] 12.04 "hangs" on shutdown when using 3.2 kernel ** Tags removed: needs-full-computer-model ** Tags added: bios-outdated-f.54a -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu.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/1005134 Title: [Compaq Presario CQ60-215DX Notebook PC] 12.04 "hangs" on shutdown when using 3.2 kernel Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I've been having a problem, as my system was hanging when I selected "Shut-Down" option from the Ubuntu dropdown menu. This problem was remediated when the "Update manager" patched the kernal to a release 3.4. Now, I was presented with the latest "Update Manager" patch and when I complied, my Ubuntu image file was impacted, and now my kernal release is back to "3.2.0-24-generic-pae", and, of course, I'm hanging when I select the "shut-down" option from the Ubuntu dropdown menu.
