I however found this thread. Ubuntu 11.10 uses lightdm. While there is no lightdm in that file he is describing... Maybe that is the issue preventing to shut down?
Is there a way for me to find out what exactly is going wrong? a log file I could explore?
What are the specifications for your computer?
You could edit the /etc/default/grub file and remove the "quiet" from the line
Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
so that it will print out text when your system starts and stops.You then have to run to update the boot file so the text appears during the boot and shutdown phases.
You could also try to add "acpi=force" to the same file to see if it might be an acpi problem.
Good Luck
