I recently set up Ubuntu 22.04 on my MSI laptop running Windows 11 as a dual boot. The Ubuntu portion is running on my second SSD, so the two OS's are running each on their own drive. When I shutdown or restart the Ubuntu OS it goes to the splash screen and immediately freezes and fails to shutdown completely. If I press F1 during the shutdown, this is what I see, but it seems things are shutting down fine. Are there any additional troubleshooting steps that I should try?

In my case
  • I have standalone Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS on Asus x64 AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS with Radeon Graphics.
  • For several days, I faced an ongoing shutdown problem related to the "kvm: exiting hardware virtualization" error. Every time I attempted to shut down the operating system, it would become unresponsive, requiring me to perform manual forceful shutdowns.
  • I became aware that my kernel had been upgraded to version 6.2 on August 09, 2023. I confirmed this date using the following script: grep $(uname -r) /var/log/dpkg.log*.
  • I performed a restoration back to August 08, 2023 using Timeshift. During this restoration, my kernel was listed as "Linux asus 5.19.0-50-generic."
  • The issue was resolved following the restoration.
Update
  • Whenever I roll back to the 5.19.0-50-generic version, my kernel automatically upgrades to 6.2.0-26-generic.
  • In response, I've configured GRUB with GRUB_DEFAULT="1>2" to ensure that Ubuntu boots using the older kernel.
  • The issue was resolved following the configuration.
Note
  • It appears that installing the NVIDIA driver metapackage from nvidia-driver-535 (proprietary, tested) could resolve the issue, but I don't plan to do this at the moment.

  • I do have the exact problem. How did you performed a restoration back? I don't have a backup in Timeshift – AliN11 Aug 14 '23 at 11:00
  • Hi @AliN11, I'm sorry to hear that. If you have Timeshift installed but can't see your backups, please ensure that you have added the ppa:teejee2008/timeshift repository, as suggested in this comment on the Timeshift issue. If you are attempting to manually revert to an older kernel, you can find a discussion about it in these comments on the OMG! Ubuntu post (although I haven't personally attempted to revert only the kernel myself). – serdarsen Aug 14 '23 at 14:14
