    Unable to shutdown

    On issuing command:
    Code:
    sudo halt
    I got this error:
    Code:
     timestamp too far in the future: Feb 10 21:04:29 2009
    What does it mean?

    Thanks

    you could use "sudo shutdown -h now" as an alternative. For halt, try googleing the error to find some more details

    Remember, halt won't actually turn off your computer. You'll still need to press the power button when it's done. In case this isn't what you had in mind, try
    Code:
    sudo poweroff
    The problem you're having isn't halt though. It's sudo. Do
    Code:
    sudo -k
    and it should work.
