I just installed an newer ubuntu mainline kernel (4.13.9) and the issue is fixed as described by Kai-Heng Feng.
The new problem with that now is that closing the laptop lid doesn't do anything, even though I have set the AC and battery action to 'suspend' in dconf-editor. I do hope that this is just the dev kernel causing this, which I do not intend to keep once the upstream kernel update gets released. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724317 Title: Shutdown hangs / no standby - possible Wifi-bug in the kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1724317/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
