With Ubuntu 10.04 final I do have the same behaviopur on my acer 5536 (ATI Technologies Inc M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series]) But In my case, I don't think it is a splash problem : if I press F1, it does not help : it hangs on "system will now halt" ... but it does not power off the laptop. So it seems that the system does not know how to do the final halt step.
Interesting Note : If I choose 'restart' instead of stopping the laptop, it works : at the shutdown screen after F1, it is displayed "system will now restart" ... and it works : the laptop is resetted. -- ubuntu 10.04 hangs on shutdown splash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567580 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
