I am using Ubuntu OS for one year. Currently I am using Ubuntu 12.04LTS. When I click the shutdown button I am directed back to the login screen instead. It has become difficult to shut down.
What can I do to enable shutdown again?

Are you able to suspend or hibernate, @Karthikeyan.k? If not, have a look at this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/181078/i-cant-get-suspend-hibernate-and-shutdown-to-work-in-ubuntu-12-04?lq=1 – jobin Dec 29 '12 at 09:01

Are you logged into any other virtual terminal, at the same time? – saji89 Dec 29 '12 at 11:24

as I came to know from the google , it happens some times and will be solved by the updates . Until that ,you can shutdown your PC from the terminal with
sudo shutdown -h now
Here's some background info: Shutdown/suspend/hibernate not working correctly

Press AltF1 (or F2, F3, F4, etc.) to open a text terminal.
Login, using a user and password with sudo rights.
Then just type:
sudo shutdown -P now
This forces a halt and power-down.
