[Bug 1286986] Re: Dropping to commandline is the only way to shutdown or restart

[James Hunt]

Thanks for reporting this issue. A few questions:

1) Is this behaviour repeatable?
2) Are there other users logged in when you attempt to shutdown the system?
3) Can you still switch accounts from the menu?

The fact that using the shutdown/reboot commands is the only way to
shutdown your system implies that Upstart (running as PID 1) itself is
working correctly.
