I tried Alex's fix (disabe session management in compiz) and it may have made the hangs less frequent, it has not solved the issue on 3 different sets of hardware.
As an aside, some dual-boot testing on a couple of machines with Mint 12, using Cinnamon and Gnome Shell sessions results in zero shutdown hangs. AFAICT the issue lies in something exclusive to "genuine" Ubuntu/Unity and the way it's doing a shutdown. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882817 Title: shutdown screen stuck after upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/882817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
