Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug. I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709 (the update to 20.04.2 was ~6 months ago, eg. ie. https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2021/02/05/ubuntu-20-04-2-lts-released/ will show the ISO release date, however installed systems received that update more than a week before the ISO release date) ** Package changed: ubuntu => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1942008 Title: Kubuntu 20.04.2 update causes shutdown corrupt bios, reboot hangs, won't wake from sleep Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Installed Kubuntu from the 20.04.1 LTS ISO. Shutdown, reboot, wake from sleep worked fine. Update to 20.04.2 caused issues where it wouldn't wake from sleep, rebooting hangs, and never actually shutdowns for the reboot, and shutdown causes an audible hardware clicking noise (somewhere to the left side of the computer underneath the keyboard) and corrupts the BIOS. The corrupted BIOS causes the computer to not boot at all and I have to do a BIOS reset via CMOS (Hold the power button for 2-3 sec while pressing the WIN+v keys until it begins to boot). This gets more difficult each time it's done, where I have to wait longer before trying it and it seems to take longer to work. I have tried shutdown from the GUI menu, from the log- out menu, from Konsole, and from a TTY (CTRL+ALT+F2).
