Same here on a Dell XPS m1330 with Wubi on Vista. Apparently there is no activity but the systems does not halt.
When booting in recovery mode I can shutdown by typing: sudo shutdown -h now. However, without the -h option, the system fails to stop. This is a really annoying bug! I hope somebody finds a fix or workaround. -- karmic shutdown error on inspiron 1525 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459162 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
