[edgy] Crash during shutdown/reboot when using ATI fglrx

thanks for the bug report. which version of ubuntu are you using?

Edgy... the version is in the subject ;)

Thank you

:)

I have the same laptop: it doesn't freeze on Edgy, it just takes some times to complete some tasks at shutdown.

On my grub boot options (/boot/grub/menu.lst), I did remove the "quiet" tags and added "vga=791", so that I can monitor the tasks completion, have a more proper framebuffer resolution (1024x768 as 1280x800 isn't available), and still benefit from the eye-candy splash screen.

You can ensure these options will be applied to any new kernel to be installed by modifiyng the following line, again on the same file:
# defoptions=splash vga=791
Do not remove the square character, but run afterwards the following command for it to be taken into account:
sudo update-grub

So to me this bug will be really closed when the grub configuration can be automatically modified by hardware sensing (for the "vga=791" option). It is a recurrent issue that still has to be addressed for other considerations too, such as hardware recognition at system installation.

furlan, can you confirm this still happens in Feisty (Ubuntu 7.04) ?

This does not happened anymore with Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04).

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached it's end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, please note that this report will remain open against the actively developed kernel. Thank you for your continued support and help as we debug this issue.
