problems shutting down since trying to fix DisplayLink

Hrm, this time I tried a `halt -p` and that actually did power off the system, so at least I've got that. Previously, I was trying the shutdown from the system menu, or `shutdown` from bash....I'll try that again, just to see.

OK, I found that shutting down was working, so I was trying to figure out what had changed (apart from making this thread)...and it was that I had disconnected the monitor from the dock. If I plug it in, then I can't shut the computer down...

Any ideas how to fix this?
