This one affects me as well. My video hardware is an ATI Radeon HD4330 (Mobility), on a Dell Vostro 1088n.
What happens after shutting down is: 1) If I use the Shut Down option in GNOME, after all the services have halted, my computer freezes and I have to press the power button for 5 seconds to shut the thing down. 2) If I use the Restart option, after all the services have halted, I just have to normally press the power button like I do when starting the thing, to shut it down. Removing Plymouth fixes the problem. This problem also occurs in Arch Linux, after installing Plymouth And manually compiling and installing kernel 2.6.34-rc4 had fixed it for me, but I went back to using the official kernel. -- lucid doesn't shut down completely https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576204 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
