[Bug 883705] [NEW] 11.10 will not power off laptop

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I installed 64 bit desktop version of Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity -
activated additional drivers (Broadcomm STA Wireless and ATI/AMD FGLRX
Video drivers).

Configured Firefox and thunderbird and then installed printer driver.

When I come to shutdown the laptop I get the Ubuntu logo with the 5 dots
(which should colour in as it shuts down), but nothing else happens..

I have left it for 10 mins and still nothing - no HDD activity or
anything.  The only way to shutdown / reboot is via holding the power
button.

Laptop is a HP 6735S - 4 GB RAM, 300GB HDD.

Any ideas on how to identify / solve this?
