Public bug reported:

I have an odd problem here with my Ubuntu installation.  I have logged
on the Forum, but getting no joy and noticed in the terminal "halt
--help" a request to contact yourselves for bugs.

I can not shut down my PC. I have tried the normal shutdown and restart
keys. I have tried using a terminal and typing

sudo shutdown now -h

or

sudo shutdown now -r

(for reboot), plus "halt", "poweroff" and "reboot", but none work. It
starts to shut down. Get a load of text on the screen saying it is
shutting down and then it stops. I have to press the "hard" reset button
on the front of the PC and then turn it off at the back before it
reboots.

Any ideas, please?
Any cmd outputs required, please advise.

It is fully up to date on software updates and running 14.10
