Sorry for the misunderstanding. Now that I do understand, I'm confirming
this bug.
To reproduce:
1. edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Add after last entry -
title Shut down
halt
2. save the file
3. restart the system
4. choose Shut down from the boot menu
5. Observe the flashing "-" cursor; also note that the system has not shutdown,
since a ctrl+alt+del will restart the system
6. Further, if you choose "c" for command line at the boot menu, hit TAB for
commands, you will see "halt" as one of the commands. Type "halt" and hit enter.
The system now has no cursor, but has not shutdown. The keyboard is mostly
inactive and the screen will not change. However, again the ctrl+alt+del will
restart the system.
Expected behavior for both of these cases is that the system should
perform a system shutdown. It should not simply halt keyboard input.
Thanks for your assistance in improving Ubuntu.
** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
