I have the same problem of the laptop not being able to do a shutdown, restart, suspend, or hibernate. Computer is Compaq Presario 2100, 0S is either Ubuntu 12.04.x or Kubuntu 12.04.x. I was able to get around the problem by installing Xubuntu 12.04.x. With Xubuntu all the shutdown functions worked right out of the box (well I had to install hibernate before it would work). My computer is supposed to support PAE, but the only difference between Ubuntu/Kubuntu and Xubuntu is that at present Xubuntu uses the non-PAE kernel. So this is definitely a bug that needs to be fixed.
