Many times (not all the time) when I want to shutdown or restart, the computer does not shutdown but goes to the screen for changing the user. I am the only user of my computer. So I had to shutdown a second time. Is there a solution for this?

I found this issue reported as a bug for 10.04 and 10.10. Supposedly it has been fixed for those versions. Guess it was a problem with ConsoleKit.

However, there appears to be either a regression or entirely new cause of this infernal behaviour in the 11.xx series. I inconsistently experience this problem on 11.10. See this associated bug report:

Go to System > Preference > Power Management and choose from there. I very seldom shut down, only if my computer is running slowly or there is a hardware problem. In Ubuntu I suspend the computer and spin down the drives, and when I'm ready to go, it only takes 10 seconds to spin up and go. Yeah! I love this system!

In the terminal you can enter:
Shutdown: sudo halt
Restart: sudo reboot
To bring up the terminal quickly you can press Ctrl Alt t.
