When I shut down my notebook (Asus u38dt)- after Ubuntu logo the notebook freezes with black screen, power is still on and no reaction on any button (even no result with REISUB). The only way is to press (2-3 seconds) power button.
Please help!
Answer
It sounds like ACPI.
Try this:
Type in terminal:
sudo su
cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.old
gedit /etc/default/grub
- Find the line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
- Change this to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force"
- Save the file and close the file.
- Finally, in terminal: update-grub
Now, reboot your PC. It will hang again. Just manually power it off with the button. When you reboot again, it should work well.
I copied this guide from Shutdown does not power off computer. I couldn’t put it in better words (commands).
