Bug#691902: [squeeze->wheezy regression] Unable to shutdown via normal means



Hi,
did it the lazy way and installed linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 3.2.13-1 followed by 3.2.14-1 from the snapshots.

You might want to take a look at the changes between 13 and 14, because 3.2.13-1 is shutting down properly :)

Methods tried:
- selecting shutdown from Gnome
- issuing "shutdown -h 0"

happy hunting ;)
