Thread: starting system v runlevel compatibility ... fail

hi all. installed kubuntu on several public school computers (they in junk heap!) sister's laptop (she's teacher @ school) , i'm running weird problem.

school computers appear operating fine, thank goodness, sister's not shutting down properly. when shut down, via k menu, or

code:

#shutdown -h #halt

the system goes through shutdown sequence , displays message "the system has halted." can hear stop, fan stops running, etc., screen not turn off, remains on screen.

message, of course, shown when disable "quiet splash" in grub, otherwise hangs on kubuntu splash screen (the 1 4 dots).

reboot works expected.

odd thing noticed in boot / shutdown messages message

code:

 starting system v runlevel compatibility  ........ [fail]

sounds pretty serious , i'm not sure it. suggestions?

happy save old computers being thrown away, feel schmuck because important 1 isn't functioning , can't fix it!

forgot mention, disabling acpi in /etc/default/grub not work either...
