I attached /var/log/apt/history.log which covers January. Some explanation on 2015.01.25-26 entries:
2015-01-25 11:05:48 Bunch of updates, looks like it was initiated by Software Updater. I didn't spot anything closely related to the bug, but then, I'm not really an expert on this... 2015-01-25 22:57:34 This was shortly after I encountered the bug. I googled around, looked at some other existing bug tickets, and found some general advice on how to check BIOS via the fwts tool. Unfortunately, I didn't found any official updates for my motherboard on Gigabyte's website, and also didn't really grok most of fwts's output. Start-Date: 2015-01-25 23:25:47 I switched from the nvidia to nouveau before trying to install a mainline kernel version. Start-Date: 2015-01-25 23:50:24 I installed the mainline kernel based on what I read at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds, this log entry marks the removal. Start-Date: 2015-01-25 23:52:35 Switching back from nouveau to nvidia. Start-Date: 2015-01-26 20:04:35 Updates initiated by Software Updater. Start-Date: 2015-01-26 21:18:42 Switching from nvidia to nouveau. (After which I installed another mainline kernel version via dpkg.) ** Attachment added: "/var/log/apt/history.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1414494/+attachment/4308267/+files/history.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1414494 Title: reboot after shutdown Gigabyte GA-P41T-D3 motherboard, Intel G41 Express chipset Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This bug is pretty similar to the one described in #1409279: shutdown from GUI results in shutdown, some seconds of silence, then reboot. Hardware shutdown (holding power button for 4 secs) works OK. Last kernel update happened on 2015.01.10, but I just started noticing this bug today (2015.01.25), so it may not be a kernel issue. As I see, in similar cases the general practice should be to try the latest upstream kernel, so I guess I will try that as a next step. Any questions or advice on how to diagnose this properly is welcome.
