Yes, but before you do you should first:

1. Search the bug list to see if it's already been reported - sample:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+bugs?field.searchtext=cannot+shut+down&search=Search+Bug+Reports&field.scope=all&field.scope.target=>

2. Review these, and gather the proper information to submit with your
report:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager

You might also find this helpful & maybe bookmark for later reference:
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=debugging&titlesearch=Titles>

Sometimes when reviewing/following the debugging procedures you can find
a hint on how the find the problem yourself.
