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

[Lars Noodén]

Yes, if  I issue 'sudo shutdown -h now' the machine gets as far as
'System halted.' on the console but the fan is still running and the
screen still illuminated with text on it.

Title:
  Computer fails to shutdown properly nor can it restart

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
