Problems with Shut Down in 9.10 since updates

[Augustine325]

I've only recently switched to Ubuntu and overall I'm loving it. When i first installed it shut down perfectly from the GUI. After updating from the Update Manager, I've had problems. Now it shuts down but my PC doesn't power down.

I can manually make it shut and power down from the terminal with the command:
sudo shutdown -h -P now

or:

sudo poweroff

The fact that it works from the Terminal but not from the GUI suggests there might be a coding problem with the GUI but discovering and fixing that is way beyond my capabilties.

I've searched for answers in the Forums and tried adding the coding suggested in the grub file but all to no avail. Can anyone help?

Thanks.
