Most of the time, such problem means a non responding task still running in the background. So be sure your system is cleaned (use gtkorphan & bleachbit to clean it).
While shutting down, hitting 'Esc' key will swicth to text mode (like quite splash removal into grub). Or make the journald permanent, then on the next boot, you can know whats is going on. https://ibhagat.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/rhel7-configure-persistent-systemd.html ** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1721763 Title: ubuntu is stuck with black screen and blinking cursos at top left on all shutdown or restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/1721763/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
