Can't restart from Ubuntu 12.10
- by Sankalp Kota
I am dual-booting Ubuntu 12.10 and Windows 8 Pro. Both run seamlessly but I've had the persistent issue of not being able to restart my machine properly from Ubuntu.
If I am on Ubuntu and hit the 'Restart..' option, the screen turns off and Ubuntu shuts down, but the computer never turns off and grub bootloader never shows on the screen. However, rebooting from Windows gets me to the bootloader as it should.
Turning off the machine completely with 'Shut down' works fine with both Ubuntu and Windows as well.
This issue was present even when I was dual booting Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7 Starter as well.
My computer is an Acer AOD257 with 2 GB RAM, Intel Atom N570 Processor. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
