sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop didn't helped for me. always when i try to shutdown (using gnome menu, or using halt --poweroff or halt) it end on text screen with last message about deactivating swap. then it stays until i press ctrl-alt-del. then reboot continues with killing tasks etc.
it worked before, even in karmic koala...i don't know what could breakit, maybe some update... but since it was working for sure i updated too much so i can't track what could it be -- Shutdown still doesn't turn off my computer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44008 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
