since installing 10.04 my computer will not shut down
When I choose shut down the process starts, but when I get to the Ubuntu logo with the dots underneath, it just continues cycling through the dots changing color but doesn't actually shut down.
I have to just turn it off, by holding down the power button until it turns off the power. This is my Acer laptop, and when I was using 9.10 I didn't have this problem. Since I have done all the updates, some of which have given me another two lines of OSes to boot from One is Ubuntu 10.04 with a list of numbers signifying the latest version and TWO: the same Ubuntu version with the recovery mode designation. The only one that boots is the original first install, and it won't shut down. I have no idea what to do. If I can't get it fixed soon, I will just wait for Ubuntu 10.10 and start over.
I haven't done anything else with this problem. I decided to wait for Ubuntu 10.10 to be released, burn an install disk and do a new install of 10.10. And hope the problem is not there at that time. I didn't know how to do anything about the ACAPI in Grub, or even get to where I could try to do something with it.
Thanks for trying to help me, but I honestly just don't want to deal with this any more. Please remove the question from the list.
