Hey there. I'm using a Gateway NE 522 series laptop, with the following hardware components:
  • AMD Quad-Core Processor A4-5000
  • AMD Radeon HD 8330


After doing a fresh install and software update via software updater, I am experiencing a halt at shutdown every time that I shut down.

I experience this issue every when I using the context menu to shut down, or when using any of the following commands:
  • sudo shutdown -P now
  • sudo halt


Pressing ESC after clicking shut down shows me the console, which shows me:
Code:
* Checking battery state... [ OK ]
acpid: exiting
Checking for running unattended-upgrades:
      speech-dispatcher disabled: edit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher
                * Asking all remaining processes to terminate... [ OK ]

* Killing all remaining proceses... [fail]
nm-dispatcher.action: Caught signal 15, shutting down...
  * Deconfiguring network interfaces... [ OK ]
  * Deactivating swap... [ OK ]
  * Unmounting local filesystems... [ OK ]
umount: /run/lock: not mounted
umount: /run/shm: no mounted
mount: / is busy
  * Will now halt
[    96.301431] Power down.
The system then freezes, powered on, for an indefinite amount of time (read: forever).

This does not happen with restarts.

Please halp.
