I know similar questions have been asked, but I can't seem to locate and answer… so I thought I would take a stab.
However I attempt to shutdown, poweroff or restart, Ubuntu hangs on the red Ubuntu screen (with the 4 dots – the first one lights up) and it stays there.
I left it one last night and it was still there this morning.
Is this a bug? Is there a fix? Will 12.10 resolve this?
It is obvious I am not the only one dealing with it.
Thanks

I had the same problem with
halt
. After several attempts, bothsudo poweroff
andsudo halt -p
work for me.
