This bug is still there. I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 on a
Packard Bell v7956 and due to an incompatibility issue I cannot shutdown
properly the machine. I have tried really everthing including
acpi=force. Sometime it works other it doesn't. I was looking for a
workaroud but if I type
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Now that I do understand, I'm confirming

2. save the file
3. restart the system
4. choose Shut down from the boot menu
5. Observe the flashing -
@Charlie: he describes grub, not the shutdown command.
PS. Can anyone tell me why launchpad mailed me for this? I can't

Halt entry doesn't shutdown
@Charlie Kravetz:
From the GNU GRUB Manual 0.97:
(http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#halt)

Command: halt --no-apm
The command halts the computer. If the --no-apm option is specified, no APM
BIOS call is performed. Otherwise, the computer is shut down using APM.

The behavior you describe is the expected when using the halt command.
It shuts down all software, but does not shutdown the computer hardware
itself. Perhaps instead of halt you could use shutdown -P now.
Please see the man shutdown for details.
Thank you for making ubuntu better. Feel free to
