Public bug reported: After doing an update to Ubuntu 13.04, the laptop wwould go thru the motions of shutting down but would NOT complete the shutdown. The drive light continues to flicker and the 2 status lights on the front of the laptop remain lit. I tried to correct this issue by installing Ubuntu 13.10 from a DVD over the existing Ubuntu 13.04. This was before I saw all the problems showing up with the release. It installed but had some options that had to be corrected. The machine still will not after getting several updates since. This machine is set up as a dual-boot with Windows Vista. The Windows side shutsdown without any issues. This shutdown problem affects the lptop and not my Zotac desktop machine. It appears to be a problem in the shutdown of laptops and not desktop machines.
The only way I can shut it down or reboot the machine is to HARD Shutdown the machine and then press the POWER button to start it back up. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1251684 Title: 13.10 shutdown on Acer 3050 laptop doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1251684/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
