Hi All<br>I downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 today and installed it only to find that it won't<br>shutdown.Is anyone else experiencing this problem?.<br>When the install finished and it ask for a restart the computer just hung.<br>The only way to shut down was to do a hard reset.<br>After that 8.10 booted ok but when I go to shutdown the computer once again<br>just hangs.By doing ctrl+alt+f1 and then ctrl+alt+f7 it seems it is hung on<br>shutting down alsa and the only way to get control again is to do a hard shutdown<br>once again.So I have installed 8.04lts which seemed to load and run fine.But I have <br>not tried to shut it down yet.<br>A second question if I may.The hard drive that I was using for the above had three partitions<br>on it plus a swap partition on it.They being root,home and usr.Under the new setup I just want<br>two partitions root and home.But by deleting the usr partition I don't seem to be able to get<br>that space back for adding to the home partition.This is using the partitioner in the Ubuntu<br>installer.Is there away to get the space back short of completely repartitioning the drive.I don't<br>wish to have to do this as it will destroy all the data I have on the home partition and I don't<br>want to do that unless there is no other option.<br>Thanks for any help you can give.<br><br>Cheers<br>Innis <br><br /><hr /> <a href='' target='_new'></a></body>
