Yes that does shutdown but is there a way to fix the normal shutdown
option on the panel button?

Try reinstalling the shutdown program.

How? Also how can I change the shutdown action to " init 0" (if thats
not the default)?

Very easy! Just run the Package Manager, find 'shutdown' and reinstall it.

Shutdown is not a package. It's provided by upstart if I remember right

I don't know whether I can help, probably not, but just to clarify the
problem does the PC go through a re-boot cycle (showing BIOS startup
and so on) or does a shutdown attempt just have the same effect as a
logout, taking you back to the login screen without a full re-boot.

It is a full reboot cycle. It is very annoying because sometimes it
works fine. I don't know how to debug what causes it to not work but
when it does it takes down the mouse and keyboard. The kb works in BIOS
an
d grub but when the os starts it is not working. this is from early on
in the boot process because if I try to boot into rescue mode it can not
select anything because the kb is not functional.
If anybody has a clue whaat could be wrong please help.

thanks.

If it goes through a full reboot cycle then there should be no
difference from one boot to the next as not much should hang over from
one boot to the next. I wonder if you have a hardware problem, though
the fact that they work in grub tends to suggest otherwise. I think
you said earlier that if you ask it to reboot then it does. If you do
this does everything work every time?
