[rabbitmq-discuss] Ubuntu 11.10 does not shutdown

Sun Nov 27 15:17:51 GMT 2011

I believe the problem is with lightdm with rabbitmq service user.

Lightdm thinks there is another user logged in and doesn't know what
to
do so it doesn't do anything. There are bug reports here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/861171
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/855556

There is no solution for it as today. I switched from lightdm to gdm
and
the shutdown works but only from the gdm login screen. When you give
shutdown
while in gnome session it still logs you out which seems to be "a
default
behaviour".

You can change gdm with this command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
(reboot)

Unrelated to this problem, but if shutdown still doesn't work with gdm
then you
might problems with acpid.  Adding "acpi=force" to your grub config
file might help:
