[Bug 1063193] Re: Cannot restart computer

 

Victor Zamanian, could you please confirm this issue exists with the
latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains,
could you please run the following command in the development release
from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will
automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc4

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Description changed:

  Sometimes I am unable to restart the computer by ordinary means.
  Ordinary means meaning choosing "Power Off..." from the GNOME 3 top-
  right menu.
  
  When I try, nothing happens whatsoever (at least not on the surface). I
  am forced to run "sudo poweroff" or "sudo reboot", which do work.
  
- I don't really understand what causes this, because I restart my
- computer so very seldom that basically anything could happen in between
- boots, as far as I'm concerned. :-\ Sorry I am not able to provide more
- information than this. If anybody knows of any log files or command
- outputs I can provide, I'll be happy to do so.
- 
- I am using Ubuntu 12.04:
- 
- $ lsb_release -rd
- Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
- Release:	12.04
- 
- Unfortunately I don't know which package this affects.
- 
- Thanks
