Same Problem here on ubuntu14.04 recently upgraded from 13.10.
The workarounds setting the grub default option is not possible for me, because
I am using the system with vdr.
The vdr sets a wakeup-time which is programmed in the BIOS with nvram.
My mainboard requires a reboot for making this setting effective which is
achieved by turning the system-shutdown into a reboot and choose the last
menu-entry "PowerOff".
However, it turned out that this is not happening when I switch of the system
with the halt-command in the grub menu entry I call after reboot.
To clearify this is the content of my 40_custom:
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry "PowerOff" {
saved_entry=0
save_env saved_entry
sleep 4
halt
}
When I switched off the system by power key, it worked.
The only way to make it work again was downgrading to the previously used
version
2.00-19ubuntu2.1
and set the packages on hold in aptitude.
Why are we using beta-versions in a LTS-distribution?
