Ubuntu 10.10 performs restart on shutdown
 
Running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Gateway laptop (new). When I select "shutdown," it does a restart instead. All latest updates and additional drivers are installed. I may have upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 - can't recall now. I have 10.10 on a Toshiba laptop that works fine.

Not sure what specifically might be causing that, as I haven't used Ubuntu for a while, and the last I tried was 10.04.
But try running as root:
Code:
shutdown -h now
on the command line. That should safely halt all processes and shut down your computer. Get back to me if that isn't successful, but it should work.

Sorry. That didn't work. The system came right back up again. There has to be something in Grub that causes this. This didn't happen when I was running 10.04. My other laptop that also runs 10.10 is working fine. They are both configured to dual boot with Win7 and Ubuntu as default. One difference is that this laptop is a 64-bit machine and the other one is a 32-bit machine.

There's a gnome sessions command
, I'll find it and get it to you.

None of the above worked. The system still turns back on after shutting down.

Install lshw
then

#sudo lshw

post output


are you using 64-bit Linux?


check bios

I have this same issue occuring
 
I have the same issue. sudo shutdown now doesn't do anything different. I suspect BIOS issues but haven't turned anything up yet. In fiddling around I did see messages indicating that the system was intending to restart as it was shutting down. Odd.

Ubuntu i86 (32 bit) 10.10

(Sorry, it's long)
Here's my lshw output:

The shutdown issue is a bug but there are workarounds.
