Mint 18 shutsdown but will not reboot until second shutdown

Post by oblong »

I'm not sure the subject makes sense, so in more detail:

Linux Mint MATE 18, 64 bit, dual boot with Windows 10. Asus ZenBook UX305F; 8 GB; 256 GB SSD. In Windows, Fast Boot is off. Hibernate is disabled. In BIOS/UEFI, Secureboot is off; SATA is AHCI; Fast Boot is disabled; CSM disabled (but it makes no difference). BIOS has been updated to the latest.

I can successfully boot into either Windows or Mint.

When I shutdown in Mint (Menu|Quit|Shutdown), all seems correct. Screen goes blank, and all laptop indicator lights on the keys go off.

However, when I try to reboot with a normal short press of the power button, the power light comes on, but nothing else happens. No ASUS splash screen or anything.

If I then press and hold the power button for about 6 seconds, and then release, the power light goes off. I can then use a normal short push of the power button and the laptop will boot normally.

Doing a Restart does successfully reboot to Grub menu.

Another clue: the above failure happens only if the shutdown is done with the mains power connected. That is, if I shutdown while on battery, and then try rebooting (still on battery), it works fine. Also, if I shutdown on battery, then connect the power adapter, then attempt to reboot, it does.

Same symptoms if I boot from live CD. Fails with MATE 18, also fails with MATE 18.1 beta. However, live boot from 17.3 does not have the problem.

Sorry if there is a known answer, but could not find one.

Sounds like a systemd problem.
what happens if you shutdown this way from a terminal?

Code: Select all

systemctl poweroff
if that works I would file a bug report and see if it gets fixed.

Unfortunately, no difference. Appears to shutdown, but then does not start.

Any other logs/configuration files I can post that might have some clues?

No improvement. Does what looks like a proper shutdown, but doesn't start unless the long push is done.

When the boot works properly, there is a light for CapsLock which flashes on briefly. When the boot fails, that light does not blink at all.

Please update to latest kernel from update manager , reboot and test.

Code: Select all

uname -r
will give you kernel version in 17.3. I think this kernel version in any version like Mint 18 should resolve it.

4.4.0-51-generic was the installed version. I upgraded to 4.8.8-28-generic (the only later kernel showing in the Update Manager). The problem is still there.

I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying I should try a kernel that 17.3 is using? The 17.3 Live CD uses 3.19.0-32-generic; an installed and up-to-date 17.3 system shows 4.4.0-51 as available. But as the problematic Mint 18 is (was) already using 4.4.0-51 I guess that won't be any different. The earliest kernel offered in Mint 18 Update manager is 4.40-21.

I'm wondering if it's some strange interaction with the laptop's BIOS/UEFI? But how to test for that?

I did. As I said, "4.4.0-51-generic was the installed version. I upgraded to 4.8.8-28-generic (the only later kernel showing in the Update Manager). The problem is still there." That is in Mint 18. Or am I misunderstanding still?

Mint 18 had some updates. So now running kernel 4.8.0-30. (Previous post should have said, "I upgraded to 4.8.0-28-generic..."). Again, same problem is there.

Here's /var/log/syslog from some point when the system starts to shut down, in case there are clues there:

Hi Arichit62 and Welcome to Mint,
you should start a new thread with your problem under networking. Your problem does not fit the one being discussed here.
Thank you.

oblong,
You might want to try this add

Code: Select all

 acpi=force
to the grub boot line. see if after adding that it will shutdown properly, if it dose let me know will tell you how to make the change lasting.
