It's just stuck there, won't go to the next step no matter what key I pressed.

What should I do about it?

contents of /etc/default/halt – Mitch Aug 11 '12 at 6:58
@mitch Thank you for the comment. The content in /etc/default/halt is HALT=poweroff ... anything I can do about it? – xczzhh Aug 11 '12 at 7:23
Try adding the line INIT_HALT = POWEROFF, and let me know. – Mitch Aug 11 '12 at 7:35
@Mitch Thank you again for the reply. I have added the line you suggested, but have problem saving the file. It just says that "/etc/default/halt" E212: Can't open file for writing. I have logged in as the root, why am I still getting this? any reply will be greatly appreciated. – xczzhh Aug 12 '12 at 7:03
Do gksu gedit /etc/default/halt that will allow you to edit and save the file. – Mitch Aug 12 '12 at 7:05
