[12:23] <d3ll> my ubuntu 16.04 not shutting down properly. It stucks at splash screen with ubuntu logo and then it stays forever. To shut it down, I manually have to long press the power button. 
[12:23] <d3ll> help ??
[12:27] <apw> d3ll, that happened to me on the last reboot too, not sure that is going to be a kernel issue
[12:27] <apw> d3ll, might be worth mentioning on #ubuntu as well
[12:29] <d3ll> there might be some kernel services which are inhibiting the poweroff process
[12:31] <apw> d3ll, there might, but then most of shutdown is systemd's domain, have you tried hitting ESC as the dots start, i think it goes away and you can see what systemd is doing
[12:31] <apw> d3ll, last time i had this it was VMs running which triggered the delay, it waited 2m for each or somethign
[12:33] <d3ll> apw, thanks mate... will do it

[15:56] <hallyn> apw: aptitude search linux-hwe | grep edge   doesn't show anything like linux-hwe-edge-generic .  does something exist for xenial?
[15:56] <apw> linux-generic-hwe-edge ?
[15:58] <apw> linux-generic-hwe-16.04-edge

[19:11] <JPelletier> I'm investigating a random Black Screen after reboot (like 1/30 reboots). I can reproduce it with my USB Installer (made with Rufus)
[19:12] <JPelletier> I tried to set earlyprintk=efi in my grub.cfg and I reproduced the issue after an hour rebooting my system, but it freeze right after [    0.00000] bootconsole [earlyefi0] disabled
[19:13] <JPelletier> It's an Intel NUC6CAYS with Kernel 4.10 (Ubuntu Server 17.04)
[19:13] <JPelletier> What should I try now?
[19:18] <JPelletier> I'm really not a Linux expert and I'm digging this issue for a week now, searching and trying new stuff every day. It's driving me crazy
[20:11] <JPelletier> I tried with earlyprintk=efi,keep but it's REALLY slow
[20:13] <JPelletier> it start to be slow after Freeing SMP alternatives memory: 32k
[20:30] <JPelletier> I have to disconnect, if you can help me: https://askubuntu.com/questions/929714/ubuntu-server-17-04-nuc6cays-random-freeze-after-grub   Thanks guys!
