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

[Gustav Andersson]

I have the same bug, Ubuntu 12.04 running MacBook Pro Retina, installed
NVidia drivers (specifically CUDA 5 driver). This is my experience:

first a general observations: I have another bug which may be related to
this one: ctrl alt f1 only gives me black screen (but ctrl alt f7 gets
me back)

1. booting in 'text acpi=force' mode (instead of 'quiet splash'):
shutdown works correctly (-h -r -P all works)

2. booting in 'text' mode without acpi=force
shutdown doesn't power off the computer

2. booting 'quiet splash acpi=force'
shutdown doesn't power off the computer

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.
