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

[alex]

This bug emerged for me when I upgraded my system (fresh install) from
12.04 to 12.10.

I have Acer Aspire 7720G (video card is GeForce 8400M GS; nvidia-
experimental-310).

uname -a
Linux notebook 3.5.0-20-generic #31-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 5 13:29:58 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

I thought that this bug is related to NetworkManager
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1066484)
as I often use bittorrent. But it appears even if I just left the
computer on for a while.

I'd noticed that if I log off (via GUI) first and then shut down (GUI
too) from the greeter screen it shuts down properly no matters how long
the computer is on.

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.
