As i said before I have an Acer 4002WLMI. Previously I tried Ubuntu
embedded on XP. Ubuntu ran very well, as I then saw.
After I decided to remove XP and install Ubuntu 10.4 using one DVD
shipped by Canonical. Ran OK.
Latter decided to upgrade to 8.10 via Internet. With this version the
laptop does not switch off when I click for that.
The switch-off process runs normally until the bar under the Ubuntu Logo
disappears.It stays on these image for long. After that it shows "acpi
exiting" and stops forever. I must press the power button.
The action "Sleeping" also does not work properly.
So, I low graded to 8.04 and asked Canonical for a 8.10 DVD.
Finally, after the installation via original DVD the problems with 8.10
are the same.
I am a beginner on Linux, so I would appreciate your help

No need to repete your email. Anyone accessing this bug report will read all information on it.
Also FYI, shipit.ubuntu.com only sends CDs and not DVDs.

It would seem that something with either the Kernel or power management is failing to poweroff your laptop.
Can you open Synaptic (System->Administration->Synaptic) and look for linux-backports-modules and instal it?

After that reboot, and test if Ubuntu is capable of powering off.

Thank you BUGabundo: I had the same problem as IPereira, I issued "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic" and that did the trick.
Now I have to check why some compiz effects disappeared. I hope it is not linked.

OK Compiz working again, automatically after rebooting, but this time, I have problems with saving my sessions under Gnome. There must be something unstable behind all this, but what?

Thanks for your concern and help. The problem I reported was solved a few days ago when I installed, as usual, updates from Ubuntu. Tks again. /IPereira
