Hi Ubuntu Forums,
I already created a new thread relating to my problem but now I have discovered that the problem of my case is much bigger than I had originally expected therefore please do not hate:( on me.
So, I small recap of my situation: I have just recently installed Ubuntu Linux 9.04 over my Windows partition (so Ubuntu is my main OS now). The installation procedure went smoothly up until the end where it asked me to restart to conclude the process. I clicked on the "Restart Now" button and the computer screen went black. I waited for 30 seconds to 1 minute but the screen was persistently black. I then decided to turn off my computer from the power button as I was unable to do anything else. This problem further persisted when I had to restart my computer when the update process completed. Same old story happened.
NOW, though, I discovered that when I put Ubuntu to sleep, restart or shutdown the actual OS goes to sleep, shutdown etc. but the actual computer hardware is still turned on and working. I can actually hear the hard drive spinning. This problem only stops when I turn my computer off from the power outlet.
So, my question goes to you forum how can I resolve this cumbersome problem of not being able to actually turn off the computer hardware.
My tremendous gratitude to anyone that can help me on this problem:popcorn:
