I have this problem as well. It developed fairly recently - I have been running hardy (amd64) for at least a month, and for most of that time shutdown worked fine. It started as a problem maybe a week ago.
When selecting shutdown from the logout menu, all panels disappear, but the mouse cursor is still present, and can be moved, but left, right and middle click do nothing. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace allows the shutdown to continue as normal. I can also get to a terminal using Ctrl-Alt-F1 and run $ sudo shutdown -h 0 from there to shutdown. The system has Intel graphics (965). I am not on that machine at the moment, but I can post lshw, dmesg etc when I get the chance. Anything else I should add to this post? A ps listing from tty1? Anything else I should check from tty1? -- gnome shutdown/logout hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210859 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
