Comment 60 for bug 138691

I've not changed anything on my system but I recently discovered that about 15-20 mins after it gets to the black screen and the CIFS error messages, my system shuts off by itself.

Not great but feels better for the system than holding down the power button until it goes off each day.

Might be useful information for someone but I get the feeling this bug isn't considered particularly important by anyone (or just affects a very few people). As Michael says, it is marked "low", even with this many comments. Not being able to turn off the system it a bit unnerving and gives the impression that Ubuntu is broken.

I know as a long time Windows user, I'm nervous about forcing the machine to shutdown all the time in case there is damage to the disks etc. but maybe this is "safer" in Ubuntu/*nix?
