[Trisquel-users] Computer only restarts when shutdown attempted with Trisquel 8

[pcrisci]

Hello, I recently installed Trisquel 8, and when I try to shut down my  
computer, it just restarts. I have this issue whether I shut down from the  
GUI or the terminal. The problem started out as intermittent but now happens  
every time I attempt a shutdown. I did not have this issue in Trisquel 7.

Reading around on-line, I tried various solutions. It was suggested that the  
wake on LAN feature in the BIOS could cause this issue, but disabling it did  
not solve the problem. I also read that a conflict with the Wi-Fi can cause  
it, but disabling Wi-Fi also made no difference. Finally, it was suggested  
that running the command "sudo update-grub" could help, and the first  
shutdown after I ran it did work, but then the problem returned.

I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H motherboard and an Intel Core i3-2100 processor  
if that matters. If anyone has any ideas on how to resolve this issue, I  
would greatly appreciate hearing about them, or perhaps it is the result of a  
bug? Please let me know if you need any other information. Thank you
