[Bug 1578015] [NEW] Yet another system hangs at shutdown (16.04)

[Lauren Weinstein]

Public bug reported:

Yet another of the annoying "system hangs at shutdown" bug reports. A
fresh complete install of 16.04. Just like the others, gets down to:

Reached target shutdown

then stops. I've tried all the workarounds discussed, including swapoff
-a, before shutdown attempt, etc. No joy. Have to hold power switch for
hard shutdown very time.

One observation of possible value. I also very recently installed 16.04
server on two other identical boxes. Neither of them exhibit this
problem and both shut down cleanly. Only this system, which is a 16.04
desktop version -- again on an identical box -- is having this problem.

Frankly, it's stuff like this that makes my efforts to move ordinary
consumers over to Linux very difficult!
