I've just installed Ubuntu 15.04 and I'm experiencing a trouble when I try to logout. I think this is a recurrent problem with Ubuntu since I already experienced this same problem with release 14.10 (the problem was gone by himself, I think...). When I try to logout, the whole system freezes instantly. TTYs aren't available and the only thing that works is Alt+SysRq+b (emergency reboot)... This happens when:

  • I try to reboot, via the UI or using reboot
  • I try to close my session (no reboot)
  • I use kill -9 -1

Also, the laptop doesn't enter the sleep mode when I close the lip.

On the Internet, I found a guy that replaces this line in /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

by:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off"

This works, I can reboot the computer, but when rebooted, it have a lot of problems (keys repeated 25 times on a single keydown, wifi is down...).

I'm using Ubuntu GNOME 15.04.

EDIT: I've noticed graphics-related errors in the dmesg logs:

But if I use the nvidia drivers, I get a black screen at boot and I need to purge the nvidia drivers from the recovery mode. The reboot works in recovery mode, using the root console. So the problem is probably graphic-related...

I have a similar issue, and did not find a proper solution yet too.

For now, I have temporarily blacklisted nouveau module and now living with i915:)

See here about blacklisting: How to blacklist kernel modules?

  • Ahah, I've done the same thing one or two days after I posted this, and it worked too :) Since it seems to be an acceptable fix, I accept your answer to help other people. – Morgan Touverey Quilling May 14 '15 at 15:43
