Hi All, The solution that worked for me was in the following link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbase/+bug/903825
I renamed the links in /etc/rc0.d and rc6.d: - S31umountnfs.sh to S05umountnfs.sh - S35networking to S15networking Then I restarted the computer and all was good. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880240 Title: ubuntu 11.10 : the system doesn't turn off if "sudo halt" is given To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/880240/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
