A growing number of people, myself included, are complaining about<br>laptops not powering off after the "Will now halt" message.<br><br><a href="https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/43961">

I haven't seen any response on this bug since 10 May - can somebody<br>please check it out and let us know:<br><br>* whether it's even filed against the correct package<br>* if it will be fixable in dapper<br>* if not, a workaround
<br><br>Note that this affects power off on hibernation too.<br><br>Thanks<br>Morgan<br><br>--<br>ubuntu-devel mailing list<br><a href="mailto:ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br><a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel">

Never had to worry about it on my desktop. 1/3 of the time it shuts down normally, but the other 2/3 I have to hold down the power button for the requisite 5 seconds to force shutdown. Not life threatening, but certainly an inconvenience.
