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

[Michael Heyns]

I've had this problem with 12.04 for a while. Had no idea what caused
it. Found a fix in ubuntuforums renaming priorities in upstart scripts
but never bookmarked the thread(12.04beta)

Struggled on recent install until I noticed reboot/shutdown worked when dropping to tty1 and stopping lightdm service. I have updated my AMD graphics driver to Catalyst version 12.4 and so far everything is back to normal, including plymouth. 
Will see if it persist.

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.
