As long as you pronounce "questiones" like "cahones" I believe we can do business. In fact lets make this the official Linux Question Thread.

so i upgraded to feisty 64 a couple weeks ago transition went pretty smoothly. only thing is when i try to shutdown/restart/logout/anything i get a blank screen and have to force a shutdown with the power button. i'm not positive this is actually related to the feisty upgrade because i hadn't restarted in several weeks and i don't remember if it was happening before. looking at the ubuntu forums it seems like a fairly common problem with the recommendation being some modification to the kernel line in menu.lst but i've tried several variants and nothing has worked for me yet. anybody maybe have a suggestion?

yeah i had that "won't shut down" thing happen to me.. I'm not sure how i dealt with it or even if i dealt with it. another way to shut down that doesn't involve the menus is to open up a console and type "sudo halt" and then enter your password. see if that does the trick. "sudo reboot" will restart.
it might seem annoying to have to do that but if you make a shortcut key to your console it's not so bad :-P
logging out shouldn't hang for you.. but if it does try Ctrl+alt+backspace.

still nothing working i didn't have those java packages installed (they don't like the 64) and i'm not sporting kde. i tried their suggestion of 'sudo shutdown -h now' and got the same response i also tried 'sudo shutdown -h wheneveritsconvenientforyou' but now it's giving me some extra attitude

seems to be fixed...there was some inappropriateness in my xorg.conf. i'm not sure if it was my doing or the upgrade but we'll go with probabilities and call it my fault
