Penalver (penalvch) Shutdown and Reboot failure on Dell XPS/nVidia 295.49/Ubuntu 12.04 Sometimes "sudo reboot -h now" works, sometime not. Had the same problem on 11.10 so I didn't install nVidia driver on a clean 12.04 install but problem was still there. Installed the nVidia driver because it didn't make a difference. Tried stopping various unity processes using "system monitor" before a reboot (sudo reboot -h now) and this seems to work but it is terribly inefficient The unity processes stopped: unity-files-daemon unity-applications-daemon I then tried it using the ubuntu "shutdown" button after stopping the same processes and it also seems to have worked WORKAROUND: Reverted to non-mainline kernel "linux-headers-3.2.0-25 -generic-pae" and removed all nvidia drivers. Operating on nouveau graphics drivers shutdown and Restart work perfectly.
