I recently switched from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. When I press shutdown, the screen with the Ubuntu logo and dots comes up, and the orange dots start moving, but then stops as soon as it reaches the last two dots. I tried using the instructions from here, but it didn't work. Any ideas? Thanks!

Try the terminal command:
$ sudo init 0
or $ shutdown.
Init 0 should shut down.
If it no workee, try using saucy, precise, or upgrading your distro with $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.

Unfortunately, neither of these worked, though now it reaches the filled dots stage... any other ideas? Thanks! – lordkennedy99 May 21 '14 at 15:47

Try pressing Ctrl+alt+F1 and enter to a tty window. Then do a
sudo shutdown now
or
sudo init 0
see what happens.

1These commands should work if entered into a terminal window as well (which can be summoned using Ctrl+Alt+T). – Knowledge Cube May 05 '14 at 20:43

Yes, this initializes the shutdown sequence, but it still only reaches the shutdown screen before stalling... any other ideas? Thanks! – lordkennedy99 May 21 '14 at 15:49
