[Bug 987220] Re: [Dell Inspiron 1720] System does not power off reliably when "Shut Down" chosen from GUI

 

Affects Linux Mint Petra as well. I'm on Samsung NF-210.

Issuing 'init 6' seems to kill processes and hung at blank screen. This
actually has started quite a while ago.. >1 year ago. Then I used to
notice this problem when hibernating with 's2disk' or 's2both' after
using computer for a while (never occurred on a fresh boot). It used to
fail to poweroff (although succeeded to dump the image) then too, but I
decided it's simply because there are too many applications open and
there's simply not enough of swap memory to store the image, or
something like that... However a few weeks ago 'init 6' started to fail
as well as simple shutdown...

Dunno if this could be related, but samsung-tools started to fail in re-
enable wifi after waking up the OS from SLEEP (s2ram).

Bug description:
  Shutting down the computer using the menue does not work always correct. It often does not complete turn off the computer. The power LED and the LED of the bluetooth unit remain on. Also the fan is still running and won't stop.
  Shutting down the computer with "sudo shutdown -h now" using the terminal works fine.

  I am using a Dell Inspiron 1720.
