I had the same problem reported here, after installing a few updates. However, I saw today a new kernel update, verrsion 5.3.0-59. After installing it and rebooting my PC twice, the computer shut down just fine. Try installing this kernel update and see if it solves your problems, guys. My issue is...

A new kernel is available in the Update Manager 5.3.0-59 Hopefully will fix the issue for this. The update works. Reboot and shutdown are working properly now. vinnie@vinnie-System-Product-Name:~$ inxi -Fxz System: Host: vinnie-System-Product-Name Kernel: 5.3.0-59-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: ...

Also TAB completion comes in handy. While typing in the name of the directory you can hit TAB after typing one character and if there isn't any other directory that starts with that character TAB will complete the rest of the characters for you. If there are 2 or more directories that start with the...

My bad guys, my original issue was not being able to both restart and shutdown. After I installed .110, I had a successful restart, which I never had before on the previous update. However, for reasons I can't figure out, I am now unable to not only shutdown but restart again as well, so I am back ...

I'm having the same issue. Mine wont reboot or shutdown at all. I've waited 20 minutes on each instance of reboot and shutdown. I finally have to hold down my power button until its forces an improper shut down and then I have to power back up. System: Host: vinnie-System-Product-Name Kernel: 5.3.0-...

Go into Update Manager > View > Linux kernels and remove the 5.3.0-53 kernel. Then don't apply the upgrade when it reappears. Thank you. That worked. Also recently I took an old hard drive out of an old system so I could salvage old data to this system. It was a hard drive from a Mint 17.1 It is ca...

Hello, vinnievegas.

The workaround / solution for the moment is going back to the previous kernel 5.3.0-51.

Best regards,

How can I make it boot with that kernel by default without having to select it every time?

I'm running 19.3 Cinnamon. Today I updated the kernel from 5.3.0-51-generic to 5.3.0-53-generic and now when choosing reboot or shutdown my system just goes black as if I unplugged the monitor. I have to hold down my power button to get the system to shutdown and then I press power again to power my...

Well hopefully someone will help us out.

I just installed Linux Mint 19.3 less than a week ago. I was running 17.2 before this. I didn't have this problem with 17.2. So this seems to me that it has to be a 19.3 problem.

Are you using an HDMI cable?

Here is what you asked of me. I have also edited my first post to include this. Thank you. vinnie@vinnie-System-Product-Name:~$ inxi -Fxz System: Host: vinnie-System-Product-Name Kernel: 5.3.0-51-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 7.5.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 4.4.8 Distro: Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia ba...

I have an Acer monitor. When the screen saver comes on and after a while it will go off but my monitor never shuts off. It only displays the default monitor screen saver that tells you a cable not connected. This stays like this all the time until I move my mouse. Is there a solution to this? IMG_20...

ok.. after several days now, the problem has went away. so, i take it that it was a problem on the server end. Can someone please confirm?

Awesome News!!
