I just moved from Windows 7 to Ubuntu. I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Acer Aspire E1-471G laptop, the hardware is listed below:

  • CPU: Ivy Bridge i3-3110M
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GT 630M & Intel HD4000

Ubuntu operated very well at first, but then it began to freeze at the purple background when the progress bar passed one dot of five when I shutdown or rebooted from the desktop. The command reboot from the terminal freezes too, but shutdown from the terminal is OK.

I have installed Bumblebee and GNOME. I also installed Windows, and used to use Ubuntu 12.04, but it froze randomly, especially when browsing the internet. It was said that Ubuntu 12.10 could avoid that problem, so I installed 12.10 instead of 12.04.

Try shutdown -r now in terminal. This worked for me when I had issues with reboot leaving me in run level 1 on a few different servers running 13.04.

  • The command shutdown -r now doesn't work.
