I tried the 'reboot=b' kernel command without any luck. Just to make sure I understood you and did the test correctly, this is what I did:
I entered the grub menu and pressed 'e' to edit my default kernel. I next selected Kernel command and pressed 'e' again. I then replaced 'quiet splash' with 'reboot=b'. Finally I pressed 'b' to boot. The system booted with full messages rather than the ubuntu splash as expected. Once it was up, I logged into my user account and attempted to shut down. The same error occurred. -- Dell 710 Hangs on Shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
