Ubuntu 18.04 Shutdown/Restart Issue

Operating Systems & Open Source Linux
1

Hi,

So I am a bit of a Linux noob, trying to get my head around how it all works. I have got a nice install of Ubuntu going, updated the kernel to 4.18 and using the latest Nvidia drivers.

I am not sure what thing I actually did to cause it but now when I restart or shutdown the system takes ages to complete, it’s like it’s just hanging there waiting for something.

I pressed esc and then Ctrl+Alt+F1 to bring up the console and the attached image is what I am seeing.

Does anyone know what is happening or can give me some advice on where to look for the issue?

Thanks

Things you can try

  1. Using the Nouveau open source graphics driver. You should see them in your driver manager.

Selection_003

  1. In the BIOS / UEFI try disabling secure boot / TPM. Be warned it is possible this could break your existing installation.

For more information on what is happening have a look at

/var/log/syslog

/var/log/kern.log

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks for the replys, I played around last night and decided to try just going back to the standard Ubuntu Kernel and that seems to have solved the issue. Looks like 4.18 doesn’t like my Ubuntu install for some reason.

I get logout hangs in 18.04 on some older machines. I stop the process ctrl+c which leaves me at the command line. Then I type ‘logout’ and the system completes suddenly. That or ‘reboot’. Not sure what’s going on.
