ubuntu 11.04 hangs at shut down / restart

Asked by rajeshkunnoth on 2011-05-07

i have installed ubuntu 11.04 on my HCL Me Laptop. the OS is not getting halted when i press the shut down or the restart key. it is not shutting down when used the commands 'sudo shut down now' or 'sudo poweroff now' or 'sudo halt now' or 'sudo init 0' also. except when used the 'shut down' command, the command line hangs at:

init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process (1981) terminated with status 1
checking for running unattended upgrades.

when used the 'shut down' command, the violet screen where the word ' ubuntu ' is written appears and hangs.
i have updated my OS yesterday, but it is not fixing the problem..

help needed, because i loved the natty nerwhal, except this problem..

my system is shutting down now. what i have done is (as advised at ubuntuforums):

open a terminal

type : sudo modprobe -rf rt2860sta
then : sudo modprobe rt2860sta
then: echo blacklist rt2800pci | sudotee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

then do a forced shutdown for the last time..

after rebooting, you can have a normal shudtown..

but i want to know whether this is the correct way out..?????

I had the same issue on a Sony Vaio netbook VPCM12M1E. Prompting the lines that rajeshkunnoth published has solved the problem for me.

Can you help with this problem?
