This bug is still there. I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 on a
Packard Bell v7956 and due to an incompatibility issue I cannot shutdown
properly the machine. I have tried really everthing including
acpi=force. Sometime it works other it doesn't. I was looking for a
workaroud but if I type grub>halt the monitor does not turn off. Any
suggestions?
