Jaunty Shutdown Hang: Wireless

bug link

In trying things to resolve my shutdown hangs I found that performing “sudo ifconfig wlan0 down” I was able to shutdown 10 of 10 times with no hang. I then found a bug report (link above) that appeared to mirror my results. Now I am trying to figure out what additional information I need to attach to the bug to help the devs figure out what the issue is. At least for now a simple command line entry will be an effective workaround. There is another bug report that was created under 8.10 that I added some information and one person reported that the step worked for him as well.

While some would see this ‘issue’ as a negative for Linux, I find the ability to report the issue and have developers look at it a huge plus!

Jaunty and my T500: Shutdown Hang

I am progressing with reporting the ‘bugs’ that are a plague to my Lenovo T500… and the one that annoys me the most is the shutdown hang. The single biggest problem for me is trying to figure out where to start. I have taken pictures of where the computer hangs… and what happens if I press cntl+alt+del

I have also added this information to a bug on Launchpad. Any suggestions are most welcome!
