This hang on shutdown and/or reboot is NOT confined to portables. I encountered the issue installing xubuntu™ 18.04-LTS on an emachines®/acer® EL1210-09 (2.3 GHz Advanced Micro Devices® Athlon® LE-1620; nVIDIA® nFORCE® 720 chipset; 2 x 2 GiB DDR2 main memory) with a Shuttle® PSU upgrade (PC6300001 in for stock 220W LITEON®) and the planar C77 geForce® 64-bit GPU by-passed for the nVIDIA® GF-109 on an msi® N610GT-MD1GD3/LP half-height video display adapter. I normally use:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="debug" in /etc/default/grub, which is how I confirmed the issue: Depending on shutdown or reboot option, the system halts at "Starting reboot..." or "Starting power-off...", forcing a manual power-down. Will report back after testing: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="debug acpi=off" and: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="debug acpi=force" I'd rather save the C77 geForce® driver set (provided to Canonical Ltd. by nVidia Corporation) for the nFORCE® 720 as a last resort, as it affects Kernel behavior in both startup and shutdown. -- 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/1594023 Title: Poweroff or reboot hangs. Laptop won't shutdown. 16.04 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This is about a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 install on a new laptop (asus x540sa). After pressing the shutdown button in the start menu; the shutdown procedure starts and in the final splash screen the system just hangs. Tried a second time by pressing Esc once the splash screen showed up and I saw that it reaches the line "Reached target shutdown" and just stops there, no matter how long I leave it there the machine won't turn off. I also tried a Kubuntu 16.04 fresh install on the same machine and it hanged too at the final splash screen where the pulsating logo stopped. Then I tried with Esc only to see the exact same line in the end. The issue seems to affect lately quite many users as shown by the google results of the past month / week or so. I have also tried shutting down from the console with shutdown -and all the parameters after that suggested online- and sudo poweroff but unfortunately they didn't do the trick. The exact same situation occurred. Unmounting the swap as suggested online doesn't work. Also rebooting the system is not working either due to the same issue. So right now the only way for me to poweroff the machine is to press the power button on the keyboard continuously. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install OS 2.Do something, anything or nothing 3.Try to shutdown or reboot Actual Results: The computer is not shutting down: "Reached target shutdown" and hangs there. Expected Results: Powering off the machine. For what it's worth, closing the lid won't suspend the system, but using the menu buttons for suspension will do it.
