64-bit 13.04 shutdown problem

[technoholic]

I did an online upgrade from 12.10 64-bit to 13.04 64-bit. All is well except for shutdown. The "Terminating all processes" messages returns [FAIL] in red followed by messages indicating inability to unmount local filesystems due to a busy condition. The system hangs indefinetly at that point. Shutdown then requires a power off which I don't think is a good thing to do.

Anybody else seen this problem? Any suggestions how to resolve?

While up- please post your /etc/mtab file here and indicate what mounts it's saying is still busy on shutdown...

filesystem unmount errors are for /sdc1 and /

Yep, same thing is happening to me. I installed a fresh Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit after my upgrade failed and it's stuck at the shutdown screen.

In case anyone is following this:
This problem has been reported on Launchpad as bug #1170911

I struggled with this problem for the last month on my laptop (dell e6410 with i7 and nvidia graphics card) but fixed it by updating the kernel as someone suggested in technoholic's link to the other thread (page 2). I figured I would post the solution in this thread too, I just upgraded the kernel to 3.9.0 by following these instructions http://www.liberiangeek.net/2013/04/ready-for-linux-kernel-3-9-install-upgrade-your-kernel-in-ubuntu-13-04/
Now it works perfectly!
