I have just upgraded my computer from ubuntu 12.10 to ubuntu 13.04, and now when I go to turn off my computer, it will not shut down fully. The Power supply keeps running, even when it is "off"
Any suggestions please?

I modified the script responsible for sending the kill signal with allocated delay, /etc/init.d/sendsigs, and reduce the amount of time it does to kill the remaining processes in 2 iteration. Healthy or not it gets the job done on my system and is no longer hanging on shutdown and restart.
Below is a portion of the /etc/init.d/sendsigs with modification indicated by # <--- :
then on the lower part of the script:
NOTE: This may not be the best solution since the original script is working on other systems, for those systems like mine where several suggested solutions did not apply - this is what I can share considering I am only running the system as a workstation with no critical services running after closing all the desktop applications I use before clicking on the shutdown or restart icon.
System in use is an Asus X550DP laptop.
