Ubuntu 11.04 with HP Pavilion can't shutdown or reboot.

I am old linux user, been using linux for years, this is the first time in encounter this issue ever with many Linux distros on the same machine.

I tried many distro but mainly Ubuntu ( 10.04 , 10.10 , 10.04 ) , the system can't reboot or shutdown with. Other than that everything works fine. Same issue happened with Linux Mint ....

Well I have seen many questions with the same problem and no real answers yet, or accurate replies from Ubuntu or even HP.

My Machine is : HP Pavilion dv6 , Core i7 Processor , 4 GB Rams , ATI Radeon .... etc.

I had this issue with my old dell on 10.04.

I found that I had to disable ACPI for the laptop to boot, But in doing this is caused the video chip to fail to send the "safe to shutdown" signal, hence the laptop would just sit on the shutting down screen.

It wasn't hanging, it was just waiting.

I never actually found a solution, But upgrading to 11.04 fixed it.

So you could check to see what the system is trying to kill. I'd say it will be the same thing.

Btw, What is the exact model of your laptop, as I am using the HP DV6-3079tx which is running fine.
