I did some quick searching and could not find any current solutions to a problem like this in linux or Kali specifically.

I just did a fresh install (dual boot) of Kali 2.0 and everything works great except for when I want to shut down. Pressing the shutdown or restart buttons in the menu freeze the system and it hangs on the desktop. No applications close if any are open, and my mouse dissapears. Its seemed to be trying at first but I wait several minutes and it still does not shut down.

Any advice? What sort of documentation or logs can I provide that would help?

Thanks in advance!
