I downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 using Wubi. The installation went correctly and everything was working fine until I tried to shutdown.



I clicked shutdown and then Ubuntu started shutdown, but as soon as I saw the Ubuntu logo with blank dots under, it froze. I had to perform a hard shutdown.



After booting my computer back and going into Ubuntu, I tried shutting it down again but this time it took me on a black page with lots and lots of log writing on the screen and after a little while, it stopped writing stuff.



I was able to input characters using the keyboard and everything, but it never shutdown. I had to perform a hard shutdown again.



Now it always gives me a Ubuntu logo and freezes. What should I do?



I know hard shutdowns are bad and want to avoid them. Is there anyway to make shutdowns work? I tried a reboot and it also froze on the Ubuntu logo.




  • Sony VAIO Model E SVE17115FDB Laptop.

  • Graphic card - AMD RADEON HD 7650M (and it installed correctly in Ubuntu).

  • BIOS - H2O Bios.

  • Processor - Intel i7-3612QM.






Edit:



I only installed the AMD/ATI proprietary drivers FGLRX, not the AMD/ATI post release drivers because they keep showing an error message. Here is jockey.log.






Edit 2:



Here is the log that i mentioned before that appeared on my screen, it appeared after i tried reinstalling my AMD driver but failed so i reinstalled the other one. Sorry for the quality i took those pictures with my phone.






Edit 3:



This problem is indeed caused by fglrx (not the post-release one), i uninstalled it and my computer shutdowned wihtout a single problem, but i need those drivers to be able to change the brightness of my computer and without them Ubuntu is really, really slow. Is there anyway to fix this package?

OP here, I fixed the problem. For anyone having this problem too, here is the solution : I purged my FGRLX install by using those commands :



sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*



Then i rebooted (and was forced to Hard shutdown again). I checked and FGRLX was not there anymore. I went on AMD's website and selected the drivers I needed : Notebook Graphics -> Radeon HD Series -> Radeon HD 7xxxM Series -> Linux x86_64. Then i ran amd-driver-installer-8.982-x86.x86_64.run on a terminal and installed the drivers. After a reboot, everything was working fine and I can shutdown the computer correctly.
