Edubuntu 12.04 LTSP - Fat clients hangs on shutdown with Kernel 3.8 and higher

[Nick Fenger]

For fat and thin ltsp clients I replace the /sbin/poweroff binary with a
script that executes the additional commands. Non-ltsp clients do not have
issues shutting down.

In my test, I logged in as root from tty1 on my updated ltsp thin client
(image rebuilt with the new nbd-disconnect) (ctrl+alt+F1) and executed the
original /sbin/shutdown command.

I can do further testing, what are the additional commands I need to
execute to properly shutdown?
