My problem came from the upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10. Nothing was working, none of the suggestions changed a thing, from unplugging the network cable to editing alsa-utils to grub modules.
A fresh install of intrepid ibex from a live cd and the problem has disappeared. Is the problem occurring for people with clean installs at all or just updaters? -- MASTER storing ALSA mixer element values during shutdown hangs nondeterministically if non-loopback network interfaces are still up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274995 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
