Any of the previous updates must have eliminated this bug. 
Currently allows the normal system shut down, and I have to restart. 
As it should be. If this can anyone confirm?

Title:
  Cannot shutdown or reboot system from Gnome or gnome-terminal

Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello folks.

  I use a ThinkPad R61 with a NVIDIA Corporation G86M [Quadro NVS 140M]
  (rev a1). On my laptop I have installed Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 via an
  Upgrade from Saucy. I cannot shutdown my laptop from within a gnome-
  session.

  When I choose Shutdown or Reboot from the Gnome Menu, the Gnome-
  Desktop is obviously terminated properly, but the laptop don't power
  off. The display gets dark but the leds and the system fan stay on.
  The display backlight is on, too. In this state I'm unable to get via
  Ctrl+Alt+F1 in a console or something like that. I could only power
  off the laptop by pressing the power button for some seconds.

  The same happens when I open a gnome-terminal and type "sudo shutdown
  -h now" or "sudo reboot NOW" there.

  This happens while using the nvidia drivers 304.117 or 331.38. I've
  tested all of the following packages.

  rc  nvidia-304                      304.117-0ubuntu1     amd64                NVIDIA legacy binary driver - version 304.117
  ii  nvidia-331                      331.38-0ubuntu7      amd64                NVIDIA binary driver - version 331.38
  rc  nvidia-331-updates              331.38-0ubuntu7      amd64                NVIDIA binary driver - version 331.38

  I use GNOME Shell 3.10.4 and kernel 3.13.0-24-generic.

  Does this happen to anybody else?

  Regards
  Tronde
