Public bug reported: On Dell XPS 15 9550 BIOS 1.2.18+, shutdown/reboot job is delayed for several seconds in Ubuntu kernel. After shutdown screen appears and all shutdown sequence had been done, the power LED turns off; however the front LED is flashing in orange for several seconds and the system finally turns off. Rebooting is also not working: front LED flashes in orange and the system just turns off.
Switching to mainline kernel 4.9.6, or downgrading to BIOS 1.2.16 solved the problem. Other Linux distro users didn't observed the problem, see also: * https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/5przxq/new_dell_xps_15_9550_bios_1219/ * https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/5l9n3b/xps_15_9550_bios_1218_ubuntu_1610_shutdown_problem/ ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: linux-image-4.8.0-34-generic 4.8.0-34.36 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-34.36-generic 4.8.11 Uname: Linux 4.8.0-34-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: psj 5638 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Thu Jan 26 19:17:24 2017 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=2cfb78ae-e2b8-4d3a-9ab2-a61ae1a79fd1 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-01-21 (371 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151021) MachineType: Dell Inc.
