Re: cannot shutdown / reboot laptop on 9.04
between 8.10 and 9.04, 8.10 seems to be the only ubuntu flavor that has caused me no hickups...
yesterday evening i tried installing 9.04 for a THIRD time on my system. so now i have tried 2 fresh installs from disc and one smart upgrade via update manager.
after the first install, i kept getting fsck checks during shutdown, with a whole bunch of action items that needed input. i decided to install with ext4.
after the second install, i found that i could not use nvidia's 177 driver because it was not listed, using 180 would not permit my screen to wake up after suspend, which i use most of the time....
after the third install, i tried using nvidia's 173 driver, which caused me all kinds of resolution issues and i could not switch back to 180....
thanks to programs like clonezilla, i got my 8.10 install back up and it's where i will stay for a while.
9.04 is very buggy, imo...
