I think you have misunderstood the problem, it does not go into standby, nor am I asking it to. I ask for a normal shutdown, which it does. After shutting down the shutdown light flashes *as if* it were in standby, but it is not. The problem is that something (possibly a hardware fault) is causing it to think it is in standby when it is not. Colin
Curiously, I experienced the same problem exactly, just twice, on a Samsung N150 Netbook with 11.10. The only way out was to unplug the battery for ten seconds. Nothing else got any response.
