I think there is a major misconception: halt (or shutdown -h) will halt your PC whereas poweroff (or shutdown -P) will power it off.
The shutdown -h behavior has changed since Natty, but according to the man page both variants are valid. Easy fix: Use shutdown -P and your system should power off again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882817 Title: shutdown screen stuck after upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/882817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
