> Therefore I think the problem is in somewhere between Halt and hardware. That's a different issue. "halt" does not guarantee that the system is powered off; to get this you need to use the 'poweroff' command or 'shutdown -P'. If you call 'shutdown -P' and the system still does not power off, that's a (separate) bug. But not powering off in response to 'shutdown'/'halt' is allowed behavior. I'm not sure *why* the behavior changed, and maybe we should revert it for future releases, but for now please use the explicit command. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

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.
