I've just installed 8.10 on my two laptops (a HP dv2000 and an Asus F9E, both centrino duos with 2GB ram, 160GB HDD). Everything was working perfectly until I ran the update manager for the first time and installed the available updates on them both (these were base-files, linux-headers-2.6.27-7, linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic, linux libc-dev, and procps). Now both laptops appear to hang on shutdown - the screens go blank except for a blinking cursor. A couple of questions:
1) Anyone else come across this and have a fix? I notice that other users have mentioned that ALSA might be problem. I don't know how to tell if I am seeing the same thing.
2) If it is the updates is it possibly to uninstall the updates listed above?
At the end of the day I could just reinstall and then make sure not to update but would appreciate any help/advice before having to take that step as it takes several hours per laptop to set them up as I like!
Many Thanks.
