I have the same problem on Oneiric, but the nightmarishly lengthy dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop
works. Another thing which works for me is the much shorter halt -p I also second the request that /etc/default/halt should be evaluated as expected though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880240 Title: ubuntu 11.10 : the system doesn't turn off if "sudo halt" is given To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/880240/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
