[Bug 1427672] Re: System doesn't power off when shutting down

[dino99]

Can confirm that issue on Vivid i386, closing a gnome-shell session using the top cog 'shutdown' choice.
But it is only happening from time to time (~1/10):
  - most of the time it takes a few seconds to shutdown: but the system is always powered on (should not be)
  - when it fails to shutdown, a hard power off is needed. Trying a hard reset with the button also fails.
  - next first cold boot always ends with a kernel panic
  - but nothing usefull is logged

Title:
  System doesn't power off when shutting down

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. Open the session indicator (cog in top-right)
  2. Shut Down...
  3. Shut Down
  4. The monitors go blank
  5. The system doesn't power off (waited > 5 minutes)

  Things which do work

   - poweroff -f
   - Changing to a debug shell and shutting down using login1.Manager PowerOff

  I can't use the system-shutdown/ functionality since shutdown doesn't
  get that far. I can't SSH in since network is down. I can't switch VT
  when it's in this state so I'm not able to interact with the system. I
  can't see anything on the monitors since they are turned off.

  Any tips on how to get useful debugging information? I'll attach
  journalctl from the previous boot but the last message is the journal
  shutting down so it's not that useful I don't think. Also syslog.
