Re: acpid:exiting error during shutdown
Might be linked with this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/274995

Possible workaround:
Open the file /etc/init.d/alsa-utils with root privileges:

Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/init.d/alsa-utils

Search for the "stop)" entry, somewhere near line 353 . Add these lines, accordingly to your network names:

Code:
ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig eth0 down

In the end it should be something like this:

Code:
stop)
ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig eth0 down
EXITSTATUS=0

Save the file and try to shutdown.
