Some times ago, I uninstalled gnome network-manager on my Ubuntu 9.04 dan replaced it with WICD because it won't bring up ipx protocol on boot time. Unfortunately, WICD also has its own problem, it can't bring up your wired and wireless interface simultaneously.
Tonight, I decided to replace WICD with gnome network-manager and I planned to fix the ipx problem through its dispatcher scripts feature. Surprisingly, right after the network manager installed there is no problem with the ipx protocol, apparently the package network-manager in ubuntu repository has been updated recently.
However, when I shutdown or restarted my computer, it always hang with a blank screen displaying the message: acpid:exiting, the only way to completely shut down my laptop is only by pressing the power button for about 3 seconds.
After some googling, it turns that the problem was the network interfaces should be brought down before taking down the computer.
Here is the solution:
Problem solved ... :)

Here is the solution:
- Edit as root the file /etc/init.d/alsa-utils
- Find stop), here is what it looks like:
stop)
EXITSTATUS=0
TARGET_CARD="$2" - Insert statements to bring down your network interfaces:
stop)
ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig eth0 down
EXITSTATUS=0
TARGET_CARD="$2"
Problem solved ... :)
