Startup and Shutdown problems with Kubuntu (10.04). Finally success. I have tried, for a long time, all the possible solutions from the forums including editing config. files etc. without success.
Finally a suggestion from someone on a forum, ( I've tried so many I forget , but well done to him !), that more than one drive connected at install may cause the problem. I disconnected all drives, except the installation drive, and re-installed 10.04 LTS to that one drive. AT LAST no more boot or shutdown problems. Re-connected other drives and installed PYSDM to allow auto mount.
Hope this helps all those (many) who seem to get this intermittent problem. Maybe someone with more programming knowledge can work out what the conflict is with more than one drive at install.
Sorry Problems have returned - intermittent boot hang or shutdown failure - looks like it was only a temporary fix - now no idea what to try !!
