Okay here's the question:

Ubuntu 12.04 Precise will not shut-down it just Reboots again!

Its as simple as that. I have tried every command out there and not a single one of these commands works in grub or Ctrl + Alt + T or any other method suggested.

  1. sudo shutdown -p now <-This does not work

  2. Type in terminal: 

    sudo -i (to get a root shell, sudo gedit is not recommended)
gedit /etc/default/grub

    Find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

    • Change this to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force"
    • Save the file and close the file.
    • Finally, in terminal: update-grub
    • exit (to end the root shell) <-This does not work

  3. sudo poweroff <-This does not work

  4. alt + F2 and type gksudo poweroff <-This does not work

  5. Code: 

    sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

    --> remove quiet splash, then :

    sudo update-grub

    before trying to shut down again, run:

    sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a  <-This does not work

  6. halt or shutdown -h now <-This does not work

  7. sudo init 0 <-This does not work

  8. acpi=norq added to grub <-This does not work

  9. Typing shutdown or restart in Dash Home <-This does not work

  10. sudo shutdown -h 0 <-This does not work

  11. sudo halt <-This does not work

  12. sudo shutdown -h 0 <-This does not work

So lets try to figure it out together, lets solve it since no updates are coming in to fix it!

  • Ray see this post. It worked for me. After following the instructions restart your PC. – Mocke Aug 18 '13 at 19:22
  • Could there be a problem in your bios settings? Something like ubuntu triggering an option similar to: go to last state at loss of power? – Bart.a Aug 18 '13 at 21:57
