[Bug 987220] Re: System does not power off reliably when "Shut Down" chosen from GUI

[Charles Jie]

I have the same problem on 6 notebooks in my recent installation of
ubuntu 12.04 desktop (either amd64 or i386).

Three are mine:
Toshiba L640 (i3 box with amd/ati video chip, amd64)
acer aoa150 (netbook)
acer aod150 (netbook too)

Three are on my 3 students:
asus (netbook)
asus UX31E (i5, new slim notebook, amd64)
acer MS2346 (i5, new slim notebook, amd64)

Because we seldom (it does succeed sometimes) succeed to shutdown from
system menu, now we all rely on <alt-f2> sudo poweroff, which is sure to
turn off it.

p.s. If it fails to finish, it will stay at a high level of power consumption, e.g. 
  My toshiba L640, it will go from 22W to 35W
  Asus UX31E, it will go from 17W to 29W.

Bug description:
  Shutting down the computer using the menue does not work always correct. It often does not complete turn off the computer. The power LED and the LED of the bluetooth unit remain on. Also the fan is still running and won't stop. 
  Shutting down the computer with "sudo shutdown -h now" using the terminal works fine.

  I am using a Dell Inspiron 1720.
