When my server was running 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) I could press the power button on the server and it would just shut down.

With 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) it doesn't do this - instead it puts a menu up saying do you want to shutdown/restart etc. and that shutdown will occur in 60 seconds if nothing is selected. Sometimes it doesn't shutdown - why?

And can I change it so that it just shuts down instead of showing that stupid menu?

Might as well change the thread name to 'The Ubuntu Thread' or something like now


VMware Q

Got Oracle VMWare ruuning XP.

CD working fine, USB working fine.

Network...fail

Set network name as out workgroup name, my machine can be foind but not accessed. I cant see anything else on the workgroup either.

Any ideas?
