more comments & testing: - i've checked with Windows: select xpsp3 in grub2 menu & boot boot fine, open & use apps then close them & finally choose to restart xp: like with ubuntu, xp closed but system does not shut down, so can't reboot.
That makes me thinking it's rather a problem with grub2 & its dependencies ( maybe os-prober) than sysvinit ( but i'm not an expert ) -- Unable to shut down or restart on Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/468589 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
