    Shutdown not happening...

    The latest daily of Lubuntu 13.10 boots and works fine but has a few problems at the end of the day... When I try to shutdown and select 'Logout' from the menu, nothing appears... So into terminal I go and type 'sudo shutdown now' and it closes my display and sits there in terminal doing nothing... Rebooring works ok but the only way I can safely shutdown my computer is using ALT GR, PRN SCRN + R E I S U B O...

    I use either of these two commands

    Code:
    sudo shutdown -h now
    Code:
    sudo shutdown -r now
    -h = halt. -r = reboot.

    It is possible that you are shutting down Ubuntu but not shutting down Linux that Ubuntu sits upon.

    I am in the habit of daily updating the development branch in the hope that bugs get fixed. I am not disappointed too often. The weeks before release date are when the developers fix bugs instead of bring in new features. Things may turn out fine over the next few weeks. Alternatively, wait until Lubuntu 13.10 is released and reinstall and see if the problem has been fixed.

    Regards.

    Sorry. I have deleted what turned out to be a double post.

    One of my 64 bit v-e-r-y s-l-o-w .... in displaying the shutdown/restart choices and v-e-r-y s-l-o-w shutting down. I have a notebook 64 bit and a tower 32 bit no problem, all at or near the same level of saucy.
