@Haedri mostly confirmed. 1) Reboot either from GDM or Unity menu.
2a) If I go into BIOS, it reboots by itself after about 1 minute. 2b) If I let it boot, it gets to a purple screen, which stays blank (grub or plymouth?) for about 20 seconds, and then reboots itself. 3) On this boot, I get the grub menu (which I usually don't see). I hit the default, and it boots successfully. I do not get this partial bootup behaviour on normal startup. I also retested my earlier Unity vs GDM shutdown assertion, which I can no longer reproduce :( ... I'm sure I saw the behaviour as described, but I think I misattributed it. So I don't believe this is a Unity bug any longer. Seems more likely that this is a gnome issue in general. I will try some other experiments. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776803 Title: Natty does not shut down cleanly (enough for my BIOS) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/776803/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
