Also this issue is not plymouth related. I have tested with "quiet splash" removed and still have the same issue with shutdown or restart.
I did perform another small experiment to narrow down the issue. If you select Shutdown or Restart from that same "power" menu (name based on what the icon looks like), the system freezes... If you select Logout and let the machine log you out, then use the log-in screen's power button menu to shutdown or restart system does not freeze (or at least it hasn't each time I have done it). -- Ubuntu 10.10 freezes on shutdown and restart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/677899 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
