But it boots without any problem when you start it? And this fault appears every time when you try to shut it down? I don't have any ideas, but it was a bit unclear what you meant.

Hi
yes boot up no problems, just on shut down when all services have stopped the laptop fails to power off i have to press and hold power button to stop power, i just wondered if this was normal ,unlike in windows this happens automatically on close down,
I can live with this and not loose sleep but i was just curious if this was the norm in version 11.04. Having finally sorted wireless connection in this version of Linux i really like the operating system , unlike my last attempt at getting to grips with Linux (10.4) could never sort out the wireless connection and ended up frustrated
thanks all the same
