Kubuntu doesn´t restart

[aldav]

I recently installed Feisty, ´cause I'm trying to migrate from XP. Well, not exactly migrate, but work in both environments. My problem is simple, my Kubuntu won't restart. When I select the restart option everything goes well, the X server shuts down and Linux starts to kill all the process and unmount all the filesystems, but when it finish, Linux displays a message similar to these:
"Your computer will now restart" or "Your computer is restarting"
and it stays that way forever, it never restart.
Any ideas? I tried with shutdown and it worked OK, I also tried with "restart" command from console and the same problem occurs.
Thanks in advance

Re: Kubuntu doesn´t restart

Yep, I hit this problem too.

You'll need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst as root (e.g. "kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst") and add the option "acpi=force" to the "kernel" line of any entries you have this problem with.
For comparison, here's a part of mine:

title		Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-15-generic
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet acpi=force
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-15-generic
savedefault

title		Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-15-generic (recovery mode)
lock
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro single
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-15-generic

You might also want to scroll up a bit and add it to the "defoptions=" line, in case Grub automatically updates its kernel list.
(By the way, yours probably doesn't have the "lock" line on the alternative option. You don't need it.)
