I had a problem recently where I could not update the operating system. "dpkg --configure -a" needed to be run manually. I was helped to do that on the forum. However a new problem has now appeared after that was sorted.
I cannot close the computer down when I need to. Everything works until I get to that point, but when I try to shut down a message comes up saying other users are logged on and asking whether I really want to shut down. There is no way, I can see, to say that I really do want to shut down. I have to go a roundabout route to close down but the problem mentioned above occurs again next time I try to close down with the message etc. I would really appreciate if someone could help me to get back to the normal close down procedure.

Howdy.
Have you recently set up the Google Chrome desktop? If so, see if this helps:

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have not set up Google Chrome desktop. So I still have the same problem.
