I've installed Linux Mint 13 (Maya) Ubuntu 12.04 based on 6 PCs for
educational purpose.
Shutdown via GUI does not work at all. The PCs remain powered on, but no
input is possible....
I tried to turn them off on a console but only one manages to power off after
:~$ sudo shutdown -h now:~$
but not always...
The others show the line
[876.9876] Power down.
forever until i turn them off manually....
After googling around I've found the kernel parameters
noapic nolapic acpi=off
...but it didn't change the problem really, sometimes it worked, sometimes
not...
Then I read the posting from

and i tried:
:~$ sudo su -
:~# shutdown -h now
I use kernel 3.2.023
The PCs have nvidia cards...could this be the problem?
I tried to switch from "nvidia current" to "nvidia current-updates" on one PC:
After restart i tried to turn off via GUI and it did not power down...
I tried again as root on the console, the PC had noapic and nolapic options as
kernel parameters:
Ctrl-Alt-F1 => console
loggedin as user
:~$ sudo su -
:~# shutdown -h now
...and it did shutdown....
All PCs used to power off since Ubuntu 8.04 ....what can I do? BIOS ACPI
settings?

Bug description:
Shutting down the computer using the menue does not work always correct. It
often does not complete turn off the computer. The power LED and the LED of the
bluetooth unit remain on. Also the fan is still running and won't stop.
Shutting down the computer with "sudo shutdown -h now" using the terminal
works fine.
I am using a Dell Inspiron 1720.
