Ubuntu 13.04 - Not Shutting Down, stuck on logo [solution]

I encountered this error when I tried shutting down ubuntu 13.04. I have had it installed for a week and the reason why I haven't yet noticed is because I would restart (worked fine) and dual boot to windows to do some stuff then shutdown from windows.

But now that I am using ubuntu for almost everything, I finally ran into the problem last night.
The solution is to set speech-dispatcher's attribute `run` to YES. I am not exactly sure why it works, so if anyone knows it would be greatly appreciated if you would comment on this and let me know. It ust doesn't make sense that tampering with `speech dispatcher` would change the shut down function. But, Nevertheless, the solution is to open and edit a certain file and then shutdown:

Run this in the terminal:

gedit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher

the file should open in gedit, now edit it so it says

RUN=yes

Now try shutting down. Best of Luck.
