I encountered this issue installing xubuntu™ 18.04-LTS on an emachines®/acer® EL1210-09 (2.3 GHz Advanced Micro Devices® Athlon® LE-1620; nVIDIA® nFORCE® 720 chipset; 2 x 2 GiB DDR2 main memory) with a Shuttle® PSU upgrade (PC6300001 in for stock 220W LITEON®) and the planar C77 geForce® 64-bit GPU by-passed for the nVIDIA® GF-109 on an msi® N610GT-MD1GD3/LP half-height video display adapter. I normally use:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="debug" in /etc/default/grub, which is how I confirmed the issue: Depending on shutdown or reboot option, the system halts at "Starting reboot..." or "Starting power-off...", forcing a manual power-down. Additionally: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="debug acpi=force" had no effect, and: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="debug acpi=off" only got me to a timestamped "reboot:System halted". Will report back after checking effect of nVIDIA® geForce® driver package for C77 GPU (part of nF720 chipset). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1776616 Title: Ubuntu 18.04 getting stuck at "Starting Reboot" and "Starting Power- Off" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1776616/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
