[SOLVED] Can't shutdown!
Hi All,
I am not positive what made this problem start but it could have been trying to install OSS (removing ALSA). I quickly decided that was a bad idea and now I can't shut down (when I click on the icon the computer acts frozen but it isn't, my desktop stuff updates (conky) but I can't click anything, can't right click, can't open anything, keyboards don't work, etc...). A format of my / partition didn't fix it...leads me to believe that it's something in my /home folder causing the issue....any suggestions?Bodhi 1.3 & Bodhi 1.4 using E17

That's odd. Can you shut down from the command line?

Try a ctrl+alt+F1, login to the terminal, and type poweroff (you may need sudo poweroff, I can't remember for ubuntu).

Solved -- found another forum, I had taken off the power management on startup, that caused the problem, thanks for the help!
