A friend of mine with an Acer Aspire 1680 running Ubuntu 10.4 came to me telling shutdown didn't work for him, so i found this thread while trying to help. I updated to the latest kernel (this happened on 9/18/2010 and an update to the kernel had been released a few hours before) but it didn't help. Then i had and idea: just getting rid of the splash screen, i.e. changing
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" in /etc/default/grub and running: sudo update-grub and this worked! My friend now thinks seeing kernel startup/shutdown messages is much nicer than a purple screen with blinking dots... -- 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
