I have the same problem. I have a compaq presario 2109 laptop with an AMD Athlon processor.
If I shut down, the screen freezes with the ubuntu home page with 4 dots and the dots don't move. I have to manually power off. If i try shut down -h, that doesn't work properly either. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987220 Title: System does not power off reliably when "Shut Down" chosen from GUI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-session/+bug/987220/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
