Shutdown After Authentication?

Hi,
This may be silly but (paranoid as I am) I do find this strange, my laptop (Xubuntu) had an update earlier, and as I wanted to shutdown, the system wanted an authentication, I hit cancel and the system logged me out, I logged back in and did not have to authenticate anymore to shutdown...glitch or..."trouble"?
Thanks
Thor
PS - I ran RKhunter and it found nothing...

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Not Shutting Down On Acer Aspire ES1 512

Hi,

I am new to the Ubuntu OS and really enjoying it but currently have an issue with my Acer Aspire ES1 512 laptop with regards to getting the machine to completely shutdown or restart.

It is not a dual boot setup, 100 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS install but when I attempt to press the "Shutdown" option at the top right, it looks like the machine is shutting down, shows the Ubuntu logo with dots but does not physically turn off the machine.

At the moment, I have to physically press and hold the power button.

FYI, I have also tried sudo shutdown -h now

Any ides/help would be great as it's the only issue I am currently experiencing.

Thanks.

Possible To Create Symbolic Link On Live USB For Main System?

Hello all,

I was going through LFS yesterday and planned to change the symbolic link from "{bin/sh}{dash}" to "{bin/sh}{bash}". Unfortunately, I disconnected from bin/sh but forgot to create another link. Now the system won't boot and failed to shutdown. Wondering if I can make a symbolic link for it on the Live USB or is there another solution? The Distro is Linux Mint 17.1.
