[Bug 1229914] Re: reboot does not work

 

I am attaching a screenshot showing the console right after executing "reboot" in a tty.
It just sits there at "Restarting system", and does nothing.    Keyboard lights go off,  but computer and screen remain turned on.

This has happened in this Dell system since I installed lubuntu 13.04.
Reboot worked fine with earlier versions of lubuntu.

Title:
  reboot does not work

Status in Upstart:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I do a reboot (be it through the lubuntu graphical log-out panel
  or with the "reboot" command in a shell) the system starts to do a
  shutdown, but then it freezes at some point.   I cannot figure out at
  which point exactly.   I cannot find anything suspicious in the logs.

  The system seems to turn off some things (keyboard lights go off, for
  instance),  but not others (lubuntu shutdown screen remains idle in
  the monitor, for example).

  Other related commands (poweroff, shutdown, halt...)  do work as
  expected.

  The system is a desktop Dell machine (circa 2008) that used to reboot
  fine with previous versions of lubuntu.

  Software:
  * lubuntu 13.04
  * upstart 1.8-ubuntu1

  If someone knows which log I should be looking at, please let me know and I will add more info to this bug report.
  Thanks,
