This is a part of the massive dump of problems I'm encountering with my Lenovo Y460 and Ubuntu.

Problem: Cannot shutdown/reboot/logoff.

Logoff issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1791439
Shutdown and Reboot often freezes without doing anything. Currently can only use hard reset.
Maybe related to the tricks I did to work around the ATI/Intel issue. See: Lenovo Y460 ATI PowerXpress issue

I'm not sure where I can find the shutdown/reboot logs. If you tell me I'll be happy to provide them.

Not sure what to do as of right now other than never shutdown/reboot or logoff
