I upgraded from Ubuntu 17.10 to Ubuntu 18.04. Since then it always gets stuck on shutdown or rebooting while running through some commands. As a result, I have to do a hard reboot by pressing the power button. I have dual boot with Windows 10 with secure boot disabled.
When I boot to Ubuntu again, it gets stuck sometimes before login screen with a black screen or after login screen with a purple blank screen but I can login to tty.
Though it boots well if I run dpkg from the GRUB menu each time.
Even when I can log in, there is no brightness control working. Many times, Ubuntu fails to identify the lan connection.
How could I fix the shutdown problem?
System info:



Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz
Intel Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520]
AMD radeon R7 M440
Ubuntu 18.04, kernel: 4.15.0-22-generic

          I had the same problem 'stuck at shutdown/reboot' But I found a workaround.



          How about trying old linux-kernels ? --- for example, v4.0-vivid, v4.1-wily ~ v4.5-wily




          1. Install ukuu:



            sudo add-apt-repository ppa:teejee2008/ppa
            sudo apt-get update
            sudo apt-get install ukuu



          2. Check the list of available kernels:



            sudo ukuu --list



          3. install old kernels:



            sudo ukuu --install v4.5-wily



          4. Remove current kernel:



            reboot by advanced mode and choose old kernel.open terminal.



            sudo ukuu --remove (current kernel)

          • I did not try going back to this long, but I tried a few kernels which were there by default, 4.15.20 and 4.15.18 iirc. That had not helped. But now I have reinstalled Ubuntu overwriting the previous version.
