I have same problem... but on a desktop. So the WiFi may not be the culprit. I've attached a pic of the final screen, similar to the one Märt has (except the ethernet lines, but I do not think this matters?). On the Ubuntu forum, there's quite a lot of people with the same problem, with very different machines. One was able to apparently stop this to occur by: - System>Administration>Login Window Click "Edit Commands" and remove the last "Shut down via gdm." in both the Halt Command and the Reboot Command. For him that apparently does the trick. I tried and got finally the normal shut-down screen with the progrees bar, and a normal shut-down time. But only once. I discover however that, every time I change and save the Halt or Reboot command in the Login Window dialog, I got my clean shut-down process. I mean that if I delete the "Shut down via gdm.", save, then put it back again and save, so I have not changed anything in the end but to "refresh" these commands (dates? sorry I am really poor at this stuff), I got the clean shut-down. When doing this with the grub option "quiet splash" taken out, I got a clean screen as well (i.e just "System is restarting please wait" for a reboot), with nothing at all about network manager or else, meaning that the shut-down is really clean and proper. It is not a fix though, as I cannot keep changing these commands at each session, but that may give a clue as to where to look for a proper fix?
