Hello this was the fix for me give it a try.Just for the record I downloaded the latest copy of Ubuntu 10.04LTS and did all the updates too. Be sure save after change, to update sudo update-grubsome users have found a permanent tweak:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

change : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

by : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi=force"

I'll try and find your other thread. U 10.04 won't shutdown for me. Just goes to the login screen.

I am having the same issues. It will not shutdown, it just goes to the login screen. I am also having issues remaining connected to my home wifi network using WPA. It keeps disconnecting and/or not picking up an IP address. Wifi router is a generic Linksys WRT54GS. Both problems were not present in beta2.

I'm also having the exact same shutdown problem please help, it will shut down if on briefly but if my comp has been on for a while it won't shutdown or restart

same thing here here every once in a while my computer will not shutdown or restart.
IN my case I have identify my culprit seems to be Ooo quick starter if the shutdown does not work all I have to do is exit quick starter and shutdown and it works just fine

What you have just described has been an ongoing problem for me as well. I don't think the router is the problem. I think it might be the network adapter. I forget the model number because I am not at home right now, but I am using a Linksys USB wireless ethernet adapter. I lose my connection every once and awhile and I can "fix" it by unplugging the adapter and plugging it back in. I purchased a Rosewill USB wireless adapter and that one completely freezes Ubuntu when I try to use it following the instructions I found online.

Hello

I'm the first time user of Ubuntu.

I have just completed the first installation of 10.04 last week using WUBI . After struggling through the environment setup (missing panel, desktop, empty menu under App/Sys etc.), I have spent a few hours and managed to get it to a point to start exploring the OS.

However I have run into the same issue that I can't shut down Ubuntu and have to power it down everytime.. This sometimes leaves the file system in the weird state and it has tough time to restart (black screen, lock-up after logging in etc..) . When it manages to come up sometime there is a messaging on the screen saying "scanning monitor ..changing setup. I have followed the thread here trying to get it shutdown and made a few changes tbut no avail.

It was an very trial experience to say the least and I'm at the point thinking that it's not worth it (deinstall..it's another story I have heard . I will keep at it for a few more days...but it's past my patience .

If anyone have other ideas how to shut it down gracefully, please let me know
I have tried to change the grub file to have quiet splash apci= force and few other things..
not working for me..Probably something to do with the video card or sound cards (no sound on my system..next on the list)

I have an old desktop HP Pavilion 6785 with only 325M of memory and 30G hard drive..

Thanks folks
