I just managed to get Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 and Mac OS 10.10.4 (Yosemite) to dual boot on my mid 2015 (11,4) Macbook Pro a few weeks ago. For some reason, the machine hangs on shutdown and on standby. Specifically:
-
Telling the machine to shutdown (e.g., sudo poweroff, sudo shutdown now, etc) causes the normal shutdown routine until the final line "System will now halt." Once here, the system freezes and the only way I can get it to turn off is to manually hold down the power button for a few seconds for a hard shutdown.
-
Telling the machine to standby causes it to go to a black screen and become unresponsive. Only way to bring it back is to hold down the power button for a few seconds for a hard shutdown. After bring the machine back up, I get a "System Error Detected" notification on resume.
A few pertinent notes:
-
The MBP is running an integrated intel iris pro and an AMD Radeon R9 M370X combo for graphics, and I'm using the proprietary driver from fglrx-updates. I know from other seemingly related cases in earlier versions of Ubuntu, the problem stems from the proprietary graphics driver. However, switching back to the open XOrg driver and apt-get purging fglrx-updates does not solve either problem.
-
If I try and hibernate instead of standby, the display goes back and returns back to the desktop a few moments later (as if it's waking itself from hibernate).
-
Reboot works fine. In fact, the only way I can get a clean shutdown on the machine from Ubuntu is to reboot and either shutdown from rEFInd or boot into OS X and shutdown.
I'm not sure what logs make the most sense to post (it's my first time asking a question), but if anyone has any insights I would be happy to get the right ones posted ASAP.
UPDATE 1: Putting it in standby actually causes the screen to turn off, then turn on almost immediately, then turnoff again and hang. The system error I receive when returning to Ubuntu is the following:

UPDATE 2: It looks like this issue may extend beyond Ubuntu. I'm not sure how to begin debugging it. Any thoughts??

It turns out this is now a documented problem with the MacbookPro 11,4 and 11,5 within the latest mainline linux kernel (I think up until 4.6 at the time of writing this). There is a work-around that requires patching/compiling a custom kernel. It's located at Comment #172 of https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103211. Specifically,
From within the comments, it looks like a handful of people have confirmed that this indeed works in Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 with different 4.X variations of the Linux kernel. I'm testing this now on 16.04, and will accept this answer if everything works OK. If anyone else is willing to confirm this patch on 14.04 with an earlier kernel release (3.X), please comment below.
UPDATE: I can confirm that this works in Ubuntu 16.04 with Kernel v4.4.0-28-generic. I did the following steps:
Everything seems to be working as it should.
