Ubuntu – Restart instead of shutdown after suspend

14.04lenovorebootshutdown

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 on my Lenovo Thinkpad T530. I noticed that if I suspend the laptop at some point, the next shutdown will instead cause a restart.

It seems that I am not alone with this (and many other questions), and I tried most solutions I could find, but nothing worked.

So far the best (or only) working solution was to boot with acpi=noirq. This fixes the issue, but then suspending the laptop doesn't lock it. There may be other side-effects which I haven't found as I don't understand the implications of this kernel parameter.

What does acpi=noirq do, exactly? How can I lock the computer on suspend? Is there another solution?

Things I have tried:

sudo ethtool -s eth0 wtol d (no effect)
sudo apt-get install laptop-mode-tools (doesn't shut down correctly anymore at all)
Deactivating "Wake On LAN" in my BIOS (no effect)
Try to shut down with sudo shutdown now and similar (no effect)

Best Answer

You can try this instead it near common to all Linux

sudo init 1 (restart)

sudo init 0 (shutdown)

Ubuntu – Ubuntu 20.04 LTS locks up in shutdown (UEFI)

There seem to be a number of reasons for Ubuntu not to complete shutdown. As examples:

There seem to be also a number of things you can try. As examples:

Waiting for 35 minutes after shutdown, in case a timeout of 30 minutes is in place. Then, execute sudo journalctl -b -1 -e as you did (it is not clear if you did wait for the 35 minutes).
Post in the question the results.
This solution (no need to copy entirely here since it is in askubuntu)
sudo swapoff -a prior to shutdown.
Post in the question the results.
Post in the question a screen capture or photo of the point where the system freezes.
This solution (no need to copy here since it is in askubuntu).
Check if swap is encrypted:
If swapon --summary returns a description line for the swap, then it is encrypted, if it returns only the header line, then it is not.
If sudo blkid | grep swap returns a description of the swap, then it is encrypted.
Post in the question the results.
Using GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off" in grub (ref).
Post in the question the results.

Additional information would be useful for you to Post:

uname -a
What ways are you using to shutdown?

As per the output you show, and comparing to this, it appears that swap encryption may be the cause. I will wait until you post the extra info mentioned above (see "Post..." above).
