Which shutdown methods have you tried? Have you checked the logs for messages?

the normal and from cli...

but the problem is solved:
i did yet another reinstall but this time i started the live dvd in safe mode and proceeded with the installation the usual way...
created a new user and tested shutdown... it worked.
did the mandatory system update... and shutdow worked.
installed locale and libre office, changed wallpapers and other visual definitions and it kept on working... Grin

thanks
