Ubuntu Hardy shutdown problem
Wed, 11/06/2008 - 12:33pm — Robbie
I recently had hardy installed on a new desktop. The only problem I have encountered is shutting down. Using the system>quit>shutdown or power icon clears the desktop (including panels) and stalls with only the desktop image remaining. I’ve checked out some threads and have tried editing /etc/init.d/halt and /etc/modules but no luck. If you have any suggestions please understand I am a new linux user.
Requires some debugging
Are you running anything particularly interesting?
Editing /etc/init.d/halt or /etc/modules shouldn’t be necessary, unless you know what’s causing the problem. I’d return them to their original state.
My approach would be to log in in a terminal while this is happening, and run ps x. That should help you find the culprit.
Shutdown now Restarts
I’ve installed very few packages since installing Hardy. For a while, after running updates, shutdown worked ok, but now shuting down from the GUI or terminal restarts. Maybe some driver problems? I’ll keep working on it!

Let me know what you think of this solution.
Oom.
p.s. - Do you like the Drupal CMS?
PS: Drupal
Yes, Rather. The quality of the code is high, the modules are good, etc.
But of course it’s also rather big so we haven’t customised it too much.
