[Bug 1043387] [NEW] Computer fails to shutdown properly nor can it restart

[Lars Noodén]

Public bug reported:

The installer fails to shut the machine down automatically.  Also, after
the installation is complete the desktop's shutdown button fails to
shutdown the machine and same for manually shutting down using the
terminal.  It goes through the preliminary stages of the shutdown but
does not actually shutting down.  Same for restarting.   To power down,
it is necessary to actually press the power button on the case of the
compute.  However, that does not do a graceful shutdown but instead
instantly powers the machine off.
