http://askubuntu.com – I have ubuntu 11.10 64bit, everything worked fine but after i uninstalled the airtime dj app i can't restart or shutdown my pc !! The only way to reach at the screen showing that system is going to shutdown is via terminal but it stucks and never shuts down ! I can't even restart it ! I can suspend my pc fine but can't shutdown or restart it. Need to keep the power button pressed for a long time to shut it down ! Do i have to look for a shutdown script and find out what is happening ?? I'm very unhappy with this it gives to my nerves. (HowTos)

[ubuntu] Log Shutdown Messages 18 weeks 3 days ago

My Compaq Presario 2100 will not shutdown, restart, suspend, or hibernate correctly. When I attempt a shutdown or restart, it hangs with a message to the effect of Shutting Down Now, but it never powers off.

I would like to be able to log these messages and present them on this web site for help, but I know of no way to log shutdown messages.

Hi,

I have a problem with my computer occasionally restarting on shutdown.

Sometimes when i shutdown it reboots.

I have a first generation Starling (star1) that I've just updated to 12.04. (All software is up-to-date; the System 76 drivers have been reinstalled.) The 'restart' command that is offered at shutdown causes the computer to begin its shutdown procedure, but then it just stops: the screen goes black but the power remains on. It does not reboot. Pressing the power button shuts down the computer.

I'm not sure whether this is a bug (in which case I'll submit a report) or I'm doing something silly!

Hello everyone,

When I shut down in the Xfce desktop, I require a root password to shutdown and restart the computer.

Here are two pictures to help with the situation. The first one is the logout prompt.
