[Bug 1464917] Re: reboot hangs at 'Reached target Shutdown'

[Carlos Pineda]

I had the same problem but it started after I uncomment the following
line in the /etc/default/grub file:

#GRUB_TERMINAL=console.

I commented it again and the PC start to shutdown again without
problems.

I commented this line at first because I had a problem with my screen
resolution mode... it was always as 640x400 so I commented that line and
my system let me choose another mode.  Of course when I commented the
line again the resolution started again in 640x400, but I changed the
line

GRUB_GFXMODE=640x400 to GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 and it works fine in this
mode... I will try other modes later but maybe this can help you all.

The GRUB_TERMINAL line is related to the graphical terminal and the line
GRUB_GFXMODE is related to the Mode of the graphical terminal.

Title:
  reboot hangs at 'Reached target Shutdown'

Status in systemd:
  Invalid
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This bug is resolved.  Do not follow up to this bug.  Shutdown bugs
  are specific to the software installed and its configuration.  If you
  are experiencing a shutdown hang, please file a separate bug report
  and follow the debugging instructions described in the "Debugging
  boot/shutdown problems" section of
  /usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian.gz to check if there are any
  hanging jobs at shutdown. Capturing a screen photo of "journalctl -b"
  in the rescue shell might be enlightening.

  [Original report]
  I rebooted my 15.04 system, and found it hanging indefinitely at the plymouth shutdown screen.  Hitting esc to reveal the console showed a normal set of shutdown messages, ending with 'Reached target Shutdown' (paraphrased from memory).

  The system never rebooted on its own.  I had to use SysRq to finish
  the shutdown.
