I have a problem in my Ubuntu 16.04. Every time I try to restart or shutdown it freezes, forcing me to manually use the turn on/off button. This is quite annoying.

I already tried:

  1. Changing 

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

    to

     GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force"

  2. Setting DefaultTimeoutStartSec=5s and DefaultTimeoutStopSec=5s

  3. Using Boot Repair, but it froze while working.

It's ASUS N552VW with a dual boot installation with Windows 10. What else can I try?

    Often you can shut down and reboot gracefully with a system request sequence according to the following link, SysRq REISUB – sudodus Mar 26 '18 at 12:56
  • I had the same problem in my ASUS R510V installing Ubuntu 16.04. I tried several configurations of grub, I tried to stop the cups-browsed and reboot. Nothing works for me. SOLUTION: I just change the video driver from open source Intel graphics to NVidia proprietary drivers in the Video Drivers configuration. Since then I can reboot and shut down properly. – Sak Mar 26 '18 at 12:33

Edit boot parameters in GRUB config like this:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Change this line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

To this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force apm=power_off"

Save the file

Then edit /etc/modules:

sudo nano /etc/modules

Add this line:

apm power_off=1

Save the file and update GRUB:

sudo update-grub

Shutdown:

sudo shutdown -P now
