I've installed ubuntu 14.04 on my old notebook (Acer Travelmate 2420).

Everything is fine except the shutdown.

It's hanging in the last screen ("ubuntu" with the points beneath - they change their colour properly. As long as I don't press the "on/off" button of the notebook).

I've changed this line: 

 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

into this: 

 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force"

it doesn't work.

Can anybody help?

I'm a ubuntu beginner, so I maybe don't understand too specific things.

While you see that purple screen, you can press ESC to see exactly what Ubuntu is doing, which may be very useful if this turns out to be a bug, or if you just want to see what is taking so long.

Try going into Terminal and typing sudo shutdown -P now that ought to force Ubuntu to completely shutdown, if not then we may have to dig deeper.
