Public bug reported: Shutting down the system from Unity by clicking the gear icon at the top right of the screen, selecting the shutdown option, and then clicking the shutdown icon at the center of the screen, doesn’t turn the PC off.
The shutdown process is initiated and the screen with the Ubuntu logo at the center and a solid background color appears, but the PC remains on. I have to manually operate the PC's power switch to turn it off. Selecting the restart option rather than a shutdown doesn’t restart the PC either, same behavior. Until upgrading from Ubuntu 12.10 to 13.04 on the same hardware a couple of days ago, this feature worked correctly. The problem might be related to some frequent instability issues I reported in bug #1176061: Random system freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1176061 My PC has an Intel Core i5 CPU 760 @ 2.80GHz × 4 with 8GB of RAM, a 450GB hard disk, and an Nvidia Quadro 400 graphics card. I'm running 64 bit Ubuntu 13.04 with the Nouveau drivers.
