[Bug 987220] Re: System does not power off reliably when "Shut Down" chosen from GUI
don't know if this is really useful, but it shows that the problem is not OS dependent. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=192864 What I read there is that there is an issue about the nvidia card driver and the kernel. So maybe if you just use a generic driver, it could solve your shutdown - poweroff problem, but you won#T use the nvidia driver, what could be but maybe is not an issue... But it is just another guess! ...yes of course also other users have an similiar but maybe a slightly different problem...and as we said before: it worked with 10.04 so it will with 12.04! -- 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
[Bug 987220] Re: System does not power off reliably when "Shut Down" chosen from GUI
I experienced similiar problems when notebooks (their CPU) are getting hot: - the machines stuck / freezes and i wasn't able to do anything. Machines got hot when the power management didn't work as expected...and the problem was the ACPI or APM configuration/manipulation in BIOS (if there was any possibility at all) or in the kernel...and things got better and started to work with ubuntu 8.04 The great problem is, so do i think, that there are many hardware vendors, and they all have different components from different manufacturers and they all have different BIOS Software and not all have the time to stick to conventions/norms/standards or they don't like the standardsbut it is really hard to find out, if it is a real hardware damage or a workaround, with which one could live... In your case there must be a solution, because it worked with 10.04 LTS, so it has to work with 12.04 LTS too. Maybe there was a certain/extra kernel module in10.04 in use for your notebook, which made it work as expected? -- 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

Hi comrades, PCs seem to have learnt their lesson ;-) They shutdown and poower off. Ctrl-alt-f1 works. also the other consoles work. On some machines with a little lag but it works. @mc-monti: your problem seems to me very hardware-specific. Can you disable ACPI in BIOS? Did you ever had a distro which sut down and power off regularly? If not, it will be hard to find a solution, because then it is for sure a hardware-specific phenonemon... best regards stefan p.s.: nice weather in vienna,austria! cloudy and cool 23 deg Celsius. -- 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

Last Day - final test after "loaded optimal BIOS defaults": first of all: YEESSS, they did all shutdown and power off without any hazzle! Hoooaaayy!! what and hoe did i test: starting at 9 a.m. i turned on all 7 PCs and logged in. 9:15 i shutdown the 1st and it did power off. 11:00 2 PCs had firefox running nearly 2 hours and then i shut them down and they did power off. 1 p.m 3 PCs had firefox and libreoffice running and then i shut them down and they did power off. 3 p.m. 1 PC had firefox and evince running and then i shut it down and they did power off. so no matter how long they ran, it was possible to shut them down via GUI and they powered off. This is what they also did with Ubuntu 8.04 So something must have changed and it has to do with the BIOS settings and the kernel but i don#t know what exactly... Hope you all have a nice day and i hope the PCs have learned their lessons ;-) Best regards from vienna, austria with nearly 100 deg.

Tested all 7 PCs with the default BIOS Settings: - all turned off via GUI not logged in => powered off! - all turned of via GUI logged in and all had an application running (firefox) and they were powered on for about an hour => powered off! Tomorrow i'll test them again, and hopefully all will power off as they should! Maybe this can help anyone with similar problems...

Day 3: Yesterday I did a BIOS configuration on 2 PCs: I told BIOS to load the optimized defaults and saved (F10) the configuration. The 2 PCs were the 2 were I tried the laptop-mode-tools, which worked as described above... Now after saving the BIOS settings, I tried today 3 times to shut down and power off the PCs and... SURPRISE it worked!!! I tried it in the GUI and the first time - immediatly after login => powered off! - waiting a little bit and shut down without login => powered off! - and last test was: logged in started an application (firefox, libreoffice) waited about an hour and then shut down => powered off! So 2 PCs now seem to work. I will try it (BIOS default settings) with the other 5 PCs and will report my expierience.
