    Lately when I've been shutting down ubuntu, Before it shut down, a page of errors would pop up, and then it would shut down normally. So far, it hasn't effected performance, but I have a feeling it has something to do with wireless. I'm not entirely sure. anyways here is what it says. Something along these lines.

    NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_hal_deinit(): libhal shutdown failed - connection is closed
    NetworkManager: nm_hal_deinit(): nm_dbus_signal_device_status_change: assertion 'cb_data->data->
    bus_connection' failed
    NetworkManager: nm_hal_deinit(): nm_dbus_signal_device_status_change: assertion 'cb_data->data->
    bus_connection' failed
    NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_dbus_init(): nm_dbus_init could not get the system bus. Make sure the message bus daemon is running!

    I get something like this, and it's probably not a big deal. If it works while you're using your computer, what does it matter what happens when you're turning it off? ;)

    yeah, i just updated my computer again today(as 26 updates were available) and it didn't pop up when I shut it down. So maybe they fixed it.

    Nothing major, the display indicates that network manager tried to shutdown down but needed dbus and hal (both daemons ie programs running in the background) to do so. Dbus and hal are usually turn off before network manager can. You can use wicd instead to avoid those messages but on arch, its unstable to be useful. It might be different on ubuntu.
