I recently switched from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. When I press shutdown, the screen with the Ubuntu logo and dots comes up, and the orange dots start moving, but then stops as soon as it reaches the last two dots. I tried using the instructions from here, but it didn't work. Any ideas? Thanks!

Try the terminal command:

$ sudo init 0

or $ shutdown.

Init 0 should shut down.

If it no workee, try using saucy, precise, or upgrading your distro with $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.

Try pressing Ctrl+alt+F1 and enter to a tty window. Then do a

sudo shutdown now

or

sudo init 0

see what happens.
