Unable to shutdown, restart or log out while messing with display managers I noticed GDM had the same problem. I tried slim and it gave me a lot of issues just trying to log in so I did a temp edit to grub to get text only and noticed otixo. The otixo account has been cancelled and I forgot I had added it fstab to auto mount. I removed it from fstab and reset all lightdm settings to a fresh state and suprise, the problem was fixed. Thanks for pointing me on the right path, without your help I would have never got this worked out. |

Unable to shutdown, restart or log out Given you out me on the right track and I must award the points I'm going to go ahead and award them. I have found the issue is definetly with lightdm. As to correct it, I'm not sure. I installed kde and it will alow me to do all three, but is horribly slow and give me an error and lxdm won't ever actually login. But at least I found what was misbehaving. |

Unable to shutdown, restart or log out It is upgraded in order 11.10 - 12.04 -12.10 -13.04. it would be very difficult for me to back up everything I have and reload it. I have 80gb of Digital Negatives and nowhere else to store them at the moment. I have a second partition, but it's a small partition of only 10gb for a windows install I only use for itunes very rarely. |

Unable to shutdown, restart or log out "sudo shutdow -r now" does not work from a terminal window. I am unsure how to print the output from "ps aux" to a file and it is longer than the screen so I can't see everything running. I rarely ever restart or shut off my computer, but with all this work on getting it to work recently I've noticed an occasion error when I log in. "ubuntu 13.04 has experienced a problem" when I ask for the details it only tells me "usr/bin/Xorg". I send the happy little error report and go on my merry way with no noticable difference in the session. also an error related to nn-something. |

Unable to shutdown, restart or log out I reinstalled the intel video drivers and uninstalled apache as it also liked to hang, can't remember why I had installed it in the first place. Still hangs now without telling me anything useful. What configs should I be looking at specifically. I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. I know logout does not work from a terminal window as I had tried that before. I'll have to check on shutdown and get back with you. Live cd for 12.10 works fine. |

Unable to shutdown, restart or log out where should this line be added? I'm using Intel integrated gma950. I have gone through several drivers over the years at one point it was stuck on gallium and I had a difficult time getting it set back up correctly. I used the experimental line of drivers for a while and for some reason I only have 3 resolutions to choose from. |

Unable to shutdown, restart or log out I got rid of compiz as it was constantly giving me issues. I'm using openbox and razor-qt at the moment. Unity started to give me all sorts of issues with the upgrade to 13.04 and is slower than I would like. |

repair a broken index file that VLC reports as unsupported? Also curious as to why DivFix++ "fixed" the index with 4x the playback speed. |

repair a broken index file that VLC reports as unsupported? It's an old VGA/QVGA digital camera from the wayback machine. I remember paying several hundred for it back in the day. Still got it around here somewhere. I was able to get mencoder to work finally. I was following a bad tutorial before. Apparently yo have to add an audio codec parameter even if the video has no audio. Fixed the index and converted to a more widely excepted format. I still would like to know why KMPlayer is the only media player that would play even part of it. It is set to mplayer for decoding, but mplayer wouldn't play it at all either. Any guesses here? |

repair a broken index file that VLC reports as unsupported? Doesn't appear to be what I'm looking for. I would like to have xjpg support globally on my system, but don't seem to be able to find an appropriate codec for Linux. I tried using DivFix++, but it took an almost 30 min video and made it a 6 min one as the playback is 4x the original speed, however it is all there. Still unable to convert with mencoder even after fixing the index. I don't understand why only KMPlayer will play it back. I found another home video made with the same camera and it plays fine, however vlc reports it as 24bit rgb (RV24) codec and half the resolution of the other. |

Unable to shutdown, restart or log out "sudo halt" appears to work, however it gives me a init_halt not found error 2 lines above system halted and after turning off the power the system locked up during POST the first 2 times I tried powering it on. If I use the gui reboot, log off, or shutdown commands after I ctrl+alt+del when the system is stuck it also freezes during post until I shut it down. Using the "sudo shutdown -r now" i have no issues on the reboot. |

Unable to shutdown, restart or log out only "sudo shutdown -P now" or "sudo shutdown -r now" work. I'm using a Toshiba Satelite laptop from 2006. I had no issues with Ubuntu 11.10. The issue seems to be related to Xorg being blocked and never being able to shut down fully. The laptop uses an integrated intel graphics gma945 express chipset if I remember correctly. I figured it was a bug of some sort when upgrading to 12.04, but 2 distros later and I still have the same issue. |
