Ubuntu 11.04 hangs PC at shutdown & need to hard reset to turn off PC

Asked by shreyas nayak

I am completely new to linux. I installed Ubuntu 11.04 in the Win 7 by wubi.exe so I could remove it from Add/Remove programme if it does not perform well. This OS is very good but it completely hangs PC when I try to shut it down. I searched on the net & got some suggestion that there may be problem in GRUB. By considering this I run following command

shreyas@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[sudo] password for shreyas:
Installation finished. No error reported.
shreyas@ubuntu:~$ sudo update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
done

But yet PC hangs on shutdown, What is the problem? Is there any conflict between Win7 & ubuntu because I have loaded ubuntu inside the Win7? Because of this problem I have to turn off computer by hard reset every time. Please answer.

You shouldn't need to hard reset. This will eventually corrupt the wubi virtual disk. Instead use Alt+SysRq R-E-I-S-U-B. This will cause a reboot.

In terms of the hanging, it's likely a hardware issue/incompatibility. Sometimes there are published workarounds so it's best to list your full computer brand/model/graphics card/wireless card etc.
