Stephan thanks for those details. I'm thinking there might be multiple issues here. Can you please do the following:
Task 1: Please synch to the repos and confirm you get revision 0.2.10-1ubuntu5 of consolekit using the apt-cache command I showed you. Task 2: Please reboot your machine and on the grub boot, hit the ESC key to get into the grub boot menu. Select the latest Intrepid kernel to boot, which currently is: "Ubuntu intrepid (development branch), kernel 2.6.27-3-generic" Then press "E" to edit on the line that starts with: "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-3-generic" At the end of the line you will see "splash" which can you please delete. Now hit enter to activate the change and "B" to boot. Usplash wont now run for this session. Then report the results of your tests, thanks. -- shutdown crashes, leaving Intrepid running but stuck https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264571 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
