[Bug 502517] Re: Does not shutdown

[satellit]

To shutdown  enter "sudo shutdown -h now" in terminal. 
 DO NOT TRY LOGOUT OR SHUTDOWN from drop-down boxes as it freezes
 terminal and will probably cause a corrupted USB. Once the command is
 entered there is no graceful way to stop the USB and save your settings.

Tom reports he could not shutdown from any screen on his VM.
I was not able to shutdown from the home screen on my stick on a classmate (did not try others).

I have had this problem in Blueberry too.  I can almost never shut down.
