apt-get dist-upgrade completed this time around with no errors. However I am still unable to turn the computer off or reboot it. I eventually figured out I could get the menus back by using [ctr-alt-backspace] to kill the Xserver, and then at the resulting login prompt change the Session back to Gnome from xfce. Unfortunately when I go to "System>Quit" the only options I have are to Log Out, Switch User, Lock Screen, or Hibernate. I went to "System > Preferences > Power Management" and changed the when power button pressed setting from Hibernate to Shutdown but this has no effect. Hibernating does not work, it just locks the screen (nothing new there, hibernation has never worked on this computer).
In the Notification Area there is in icon indicating a system restart is required, but when I push the [restart now] button the only thing it appears to do is the same as [ctr-alt-backspace]. I tried installing gshutdown but it does the same thing. Now I'm just going to hit the hardware reset button and hope for the best. <x-fingers> -- distribution upgrade "A fatal error occured" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116476 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
