Public bug reported: I have a Sony Vaio VGN-S series laptop, and when I tell it to turn off, it goes through the entire shutdown process, but at the very end, instead of turning off, it just hangs. It reboots just fine. It only has a problem when I say "Turn off computer" in KDE, or when I run "sudo shutdown -h now" from the command line.
I am running Kubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10. This problem did not exist in Dapper, but I have tried both upgrading from Dapper to Edgy, as well as a clean install of Edgy, and neither seemed to make a difference as far as this problem is concerned. I have tried both linux-image-2.6.17-10 and linux-image-2.6.17-11, and both the -386 and -generic versions of each one. All exhibit the same behavior. A little messing around with kernel boot options didn't seem to make a difference, either. I've tried "acpi=off", "acpi=on", "apm=off", "apm=on". Not sure what else to try or where else to look at the problem. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Laptop won't turn off https://launchpad.net/bugs/87252 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
