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

[Matt]

HI All,
>From what I have read there seem to be several problems within this thread. I am having the same issue as originally stated. When powering down or restarting the system seems to hang, the operating system shuts down but the hardware never turns off. 

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a Dell D630 core duo. I have 2GB of Ram
and I am running Nvidia graphics. I have gone into the BIOS and disabled
all unnecessary hardware( modem, bluetooth and a few others)

As a side note upon the original installation of the OS the shutdown and
restart worked fine. The problems did not start until the second update
of the operating system.  Then it would not restart properly, then the
third or fourth update the shutdown would not work properly.

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.
