So I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 and it won't shut down after updating, I have to manually shut it down by holding the power key, it happens when I either try to restart it or shut it down. Anyone got any idea on how to fix it?

  • until you find a permanent solution you may be able to use Sudo telinit 0 or sudo halt to shutdown you system – Aravinda Apr 05 '15 at 16:31

How about trying to shutdown with the shutdown command from a terminal?

  1. Open a terminal CTRL+ALT+T
  2. Type sudo shutdown -h now and hit Enter
  3. This should now shut down the computer/laptop
  4. If it does not, then it should output something on the terminal window
  5. Do a search on the error on AskUbuntu

Hope this helps :-)
