[Bug 883705] Re: 11.10 will not power off laptop

[Rudy Sevile]

I have an Asus N61J laptop with Ubuntu 11.10 64 bits installed (upgraded
from 11.04).

It halts on shutdown and reboot, most of the time (but not all the
time). The shutdown command does not help either.

Title:
  11.10 will not power off laptop

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed 64 bit desktop version of Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity -
  activated additional drivers (Broadcomm STA Wireless and ATI/AMD FGLRX
  Video drivers).

  Configured Firefox and thunderbird and then installed printer driver.

  When I come to shutdown the laptop I get the Ubuntu logo with the 5
  dots (which should colour in as it shuts down), but nothing else
  happens..

  I have left it for 10 mins and still nothing - no HDD activity or
  anything.  The only way to shutdown / reboot is via holding the power
  button.

  Laptop is a HP 6735S - 4 GB RAM, 300GB HDD.

  Any ideas on how to identify / solve this?
