Ubuntu – My computer wont shutdown

shutdown

If I try to shutdown my computer it simply takes me back to the login-screen.
I looked around and found :

Type in terminal:

  1. sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
  2. Find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
  3. Change this to:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force"
  4. Save the file and close the file.
  5. Finally, in terminal: sudo update-grub

But now there is a new problem when I try step 5 it says:

*myname*@ubuntu:~$ sudo update-grub
[sudo] password for *myname*: 
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
*myname*@ubuntu:~$

I am new whit linux and dont know what to do.
