Shutdown sometimes hangs after upgrade to Mint 9

Post by Stough »

About one time in ten, my system hangs during shutdown. Usually when this happens, only the power light remains on continuously, but sometimes the disk access light also remains on. When hung, the system does not respond to keyboard input. Neither ctrl+alt+delete nor alt+sysreq are acknowledged, and the hard drive keeps spinning.

When I reboot by removing and restoring power, there appears to be some damage to the file system. Particularly, my Claws mail reader configuration has to be restored.

How can I avoid this problem?
