The halt command never works with ubuntu and its derivatives. While I was using ubuntu and typed sudo halt, it would freeze over the halt framebuffer. I could only shut it down by hard reset when that happened. But in any other distro I have tried, halt works as intended...
Distribution: Mepis and Fedora, also Mandrake and SuSE PC-BSD Mint Solaris 11 express

That's weird. It works with Mint, which uses an ubuntu base underneath. You might have to open a terminal as root, run dolphin as root, go to /bin, find halt, right click on it & give all users permission to use it. I would also make sure the executable box is checked.
