Unable to shut down Ubuntu 11.10

Question

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and I am unable to shutdown via shutdown option. If I issue a shutdown the system goes back to the login prompt. I can shutdown the system only via terminal using sudo shutdown -h now. Let me know how to resolve this issue.

First use sudo shutdown -P now instead of -h. Next try sudo shutdown -P now and again turn the computer ON. Now, try shutting it down using the GUI. — green, Apr 09 '13 at 11:17
Do you have rabbitmq installed? Also please attach your ~/.xsession-errors file. — green, Apr 16 '13 at 10:25

The problem might be due to rabbitmq being installed on your machine.

See this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rabbitmq-server/+bug/670289

Remove rabbitmq using:

sudo apt-get purge rabbitmq-server
