comment Reset network configuration in ubuntu 12.04
I'm not quite sure if this is the cause. I have had similar issues with 3 computers on the same OS. In my case it happened after an update. Not quite sure.

@psusi I am using the extension pack with VirtualBox (open source) and that's about it. There's nothing else that is proprietory. Without the extensions, there are so many things that I cannot do. So I guess I need them.

comment How can I enable the power button on my server?
@mikewhatever I presume you've implemented this power off feature. Does the server ask for user passwords or any such question or does it jsut shutdown directly?

comment How to create a “shutdown user” or “shutdown account”
I tried your technique but everytime I try to login as the shutdown user, the server asks me for the password and when it is entered, it asks to give "sudo password for shutdown". And when this is done, it comes back to the main login screen. Is something missing? Thanks!

comment How to create a “shutdown user” or “shutdown account”
+1 for the thought. I like this method. I have this implemented for a customer (office). The reason is that most users aren't experts or power users. Giving them a login with too many 'powers' is a risk because sometimes they tend to experiment. So allowing just a shutdown user is a great thing.
