[Bug 859075] Re: Oneiric does not shutdown

I have done as you ask, and I can get consistent failures and successes
which may help.  I am running Xubuntu and carried out all these tests
using the shutdown button on the desktop.  /etc/default/halt is set to
poweroff.

When shutdown powers off the machine, I can confirm that it passes the
following settings to halt:-

halt -d -f -i -p -h

I tried this on five occasions and operation is consistent, as long as
you boot, and then immediately shut down.  However, if you leave the
machine for a few minutes, then the shut down process does not get very
far at all.  It hangs on:-

Killing all running processes.....

which is quite early in the shutdown process, and therefore the issue is
not with the halt command but with the shutdown process itself.  That's
an assumption on my art as I don't really understand the way upstart
handles this.

I assume that shutting down immediately means upstart is still running,
while leaving it a few minutes means upstart finishes its processes.

I tried this on half a dozen occasions, leaving the machine for 3
minutes and get consistent results.

I hope this helps.
