Ubuntu 13.04 - Shutdown hang at purple ubuntu loading screen

Question

Just updated from 12.10. Ubuntu cannot shutdown properly, it hangs at the purple ubuntu loading screen with dots animation still moving. It hanged about half an hour. I hold the power button to shut it down.

I happened on every boot. Please help. This is all that I know.

1/5/2013 - 6:59 I tried sudo service lightdm restart code, and returns in console (black screen):

Asking for cache data failed
Assuming drive cache: write through

then after a half screen of attempts, the screen black out (screen saving).

I pressed the power button and another shutdown procedure began.

I also have this problem. It is solved when I take out the battery from my laptop and then shut down with the power button. Then try to boot and restart, after that the battery can be reinserted. — , May 01 '13 at 02:10

I also face the same problem frequently! I installed a new version of ubuntu13.04 64bit.

Also, when starting the ubuntu13.04, I have to run two times of this command!

sudo service lightdm restart

It seems that some driver or software problem makes it happen.
