[Bug 880240] Re: system doesn't turn off if "sudo halt" is given

[DrKay]

OK, how about if shutting down a 12.04 system with the shutdown menu,
then clicking the 'shutdown' button causes the system to hang at the
'Ubuntu' screen? Is this the same bug or different?

Title:
  system doesn't turn off if "sudo halt" is given

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Since I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 the system doesn't turn off at
  the end of halt procedure if it's called via commandline (local or
  remote shell) . At some point of halt procedure the system freezes and
  all I can do is turning off pc via physical power button and halting
  it using GUI or via "sudo shutdown -h now" , these two methods work
  flawlessly.

   I have this problem on both x86_64 and x86. Anyway if I shut down the
  pc using ligthdm or unity the system is turned off properly.

  Description:	Ubuntu 11.10

  Linux travelmate 3.0.0-13-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Mon Oct 17 20:18:09 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
