G'Day, When I try to shut down using the power button I just get the same black screen as I do when I try to log out, the only way I can shut down is with the terminal, seems to be since the last update/upgrade, but I get no error messages. Regards Miykel

If you press ctrl+alt+F2 when the screen goes black, log in again, type "sudo shutdown -h now" and provide your password what does it say?
