I dont think it is the same bug as https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891149 .
I have tried to kill all wireless devices and programs and disable modules. Nothing seems to work. Yesterday I installed 11.10 Xubuntu again (to Lenovo S205) with the same results. GUI or not, shutdown or poweroff does not work. When I do "shutdown -r 0" as root boot is executed nicely. Says "*Will now reboot" and reboots. On the other hand when I do "shutdown 0" as root the last message in standard output is "*Will now halt..." and then comes Mr. Freeze. I can even hear the hardrive shutting down but then it just freezes. Therefore I think the problem is in somewhere between Halt and hardware. I have also tried to print messages from syslog, dmesg, kern.log when shutting down, but there seems to be nothing connected to this problem. There are a lot of similar kind of problems with 11.10 so hope this will be fixed soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882817 Title: shutdown screen stuck after upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 Status in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: After the update from 11.04 to 11.10: when I shut down the pc sometimes it goes back to the login screen and then I have to do shutdown there which works well then. Sometimes the pc shuts down but ends with the ubuntu splash screen and gets stuck there. The issue may be driver related: I use the AMD/ATI FGLRX graphics driver. I have a second pc where I also did the update to 11.10 and there I have no problem at all but I don't use the above driver but the NVIDIA graphics driver. Both pc's have Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.
