GNOME 16.04 Reboot after Shutdown

Question

My PC always reboots 5 seconds after its turned off. I looked at Reboot after shutdown (Ubuntu 14.04 (also 12.04); Dell latitude E7440), but:

the top rated answer didn't help since I have no power options in the F2 menu. I changed wake on lan to disable, didn’t help.
The 2nd answer had 3 steps. I did step 1 and 3. Didn’t help. When I enter the command for step 2 the terminal is empty.

If it helps, I have an acer v5-571.

cat /proc/acpi/wakeup:

Device  S-state   Status   Sysfs node
P0P1      S4    *disabled
GLAN      S4    *disabled
EHC1      S3    *enabled   pci:0000:00:1d.0
EHC2      S3    *enabled   pci:0000:00:1a.0
XHC   S3    *enabled   pci:0000:00:14.0

RP03      S5    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1c.2

RP05      S4    *disabled
PXSX      S4    *disabled
RP06      S4    *disabled
PXSX      S4    *disabled
RP07      S4    *disabled
PXSX      S4    *disabled
RP08      S4    *disabled
PXSX      S4    *disabled
PEG0      S4    *disabled
PEGP      S4    *disabled
PEG1      S4    *disabled
PEGP      S4    *disabled
PEG2      S4    *disabled
PEG3      S4    *disabled
LID0      S3    *enabled   platform:PNP0C0D:00
SLPB      S3    *enabled   platform:PNP0C0E:00

So, in the other thread you posted to me, he had XHC EHC1 EHC2 as the sources of the reboot, so I tried to take the shortcut and disable them as well, but again (maybe because I lack a word like with the last command), my access is denied.

I entered his solution:

for device in XHC EHC1 EHC2; do
    if grep -Fe "$device" /proc/acpi/wakeup | grep -qFe enabled; then
        echo "Disabling wakeup on $device"
        echo "$device" > /proc/acpi/wakeup
    fi
done

Unfortunately the format isn’t kept, so it is a bit of a mess, hope you still see through.

@PeterNerlich no, it waits like 5 seconds, always the same interval. — jponze, Jun 08 '16 at 08:29
Ok, else I would have suggested to take a look at this post "Ubuntu wakes up after few seconds of sleep" — Peter Nerlich, Jun 08 '16 at 22:57
i took a look, thanks.
I tried to follow as n00b but first step doesnt work:

if i enter /proc/acpi/wakeup as suggested here, the access is denied. how can i get access? — jponze, Jul 04 '16 at 15:37
you want to display the contents of the file, so use cat /proc/acpi/wakeup or open it with an editor, e.g. nano /proc/acpi/wakeup — Peter Nerlich, Jul 05 '16 at 11:36
@PeterNerlich ok, with your command i can see the list..! i posted an edit above since it had too many characters...! problem now is disabling the particuliar setttings. do you agree i should try his solution as well? diasbling XHC EHC1 EHC2 as a test? — jponze, Jul 12 '16 at 14:04
Yes, and you need admin rights to change this. Type sudo before your command to grant it higher rights, you will be promted for your password once. So either run your script with sudo or change *enabled to *disabled in there by hand with sudo nano /proc/acpi/wakeup — Peter Nerlich, Jul 12 '16 at 18:01
@PeterNerlich i disabled everything but the SLPB (since i presumed that this is like the powerbutton from my brotherpost) but it never worked. So i toggled them and checked if theyre disabled, and i tried to turn the pc off, but in any case it restarted. what else can i do? should i post something like the syslog? how do i do that? — jponze, Aug 04 '16 at 05:27
@PeterNerlich lets try it with this post maybe? http://askubuntu.com/questions/452750/reboot-after-shutdown-ubuntu-14-04-also-12-04-dell-latitude-e7440#comment595065_452759 — jponze, Aug 08 '16 at 10:11
