Crash on shutdown when using second monitor-Collection of common programming errors

I have recently added a second monitor to my setup. Instead of one VGA monitor, I now have one VGA and one DVI monitor hooked up to the computer. The displays work just fine. However, ever since this monitor was added Ubuntu (10.10) does not shut down properly. I go to shutdown and it starts shutting down but just hangs and I need to manually shut it down. This has been like this for weeks and I feel not comfortable shutting it down this way over and over again.

Has anybody any idea what this can be? Or, also useful, does anybody know how to get some info on why this crash occurs? Any logs that can be used for this?

Thanks!

  1. I was finally able to fix the problem. Apparently with the dual monitor setup the boot screen itself caused the crash it seems. The only thing I did was turn off the splash screens in grub, and it now finally works well!

  2. For me, adding acpi=force to grub using grub-customizer, and running sudo update-grub, solved the issue.
