Does this still occur if you use 'sudo shutdown -h now' or 'sudo
shutdown -p now'? Shutdown just causes the OS to terminate from a user
perspective, either adding in a halt (-h), poweroff (-p) or --force
should cause both the physical machine and the OS to stop.
>From the man pages of shutdown: "... runlevel 1 is used to put to system
into a state where administrative tasks can be performed; this is the
default if neither the -h or -r flag is given to shutdown."
runlevel 1 is the single user root instance, so if you do not qualify
the shutdown command, the system only shuts down from a user
perspective, and you end up here. This doesn't appear to be a bug, so I
am going to close the ticket, but if the above suggestions don't
hesitate to either send me a message, or post this as a question .
