           Client: Shell (bash 4.3.421) inxi: 2.2.35
The offending program appears to be Firetools, and only when i use the firefox(or some other program) icon within it.
Kernel doesnt matter, tried 4.4.0-21, 4.4..0-28 and ofc 4.6.3
The problem disappears when i close firetools first(Im thinking a SIGTERM issue?), then reboot/shutdown.
At the moment, it escapes me how to see the logs for shutdown/reboot.
I thought i saw a similar problem on the arch forums, but the fixes do not apply in my case.

I found a solution to the shutdown/reboot problem by:

#1 edit the file
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
sudo update blacklist.conf
#2 add these
blacklist dw_dmac
blacklist dw_dmac_core
#3
sudo apt-get update

This worked for me on my Acer aspire Es1-311 laptop :)

I hope this helps :)
