To add to the many causes/solutions already discussed about this.



I am adding mine to hopefully provide a smarter person with some extra insight that might lead to an actual solution to the core of the problem.(if it hasn't been determined already)... if so, maybe this will help someone in some other way. (and to pose a question or two)



Here is the background information.... the solution I had will be closer to the bottom if you don't care to read this.



I was installing Ubuntu 18.04 from a thumb drive on a dell 7010 thin-client.. fresh 16GB hardrive, 8GB of memory...



After toying with a bunch of things that were prohibiting the install, I finally got it running.
I customized it the way I like, gnome flashback, background pics, etc., and finally KODI(the purpose)... I had done a bunch of reboots up to that point. But when I was finally done I went to do an actual "shutdown" and it froze at the "power down" stage, as everyone else is describing on the internet.



I spent 2 days with it doing every solution on the web on every forum I could find... acpi=off acpi=force, apm=power_off, acpi_osi=this,that,and the next... pci=this,that,and the next.... none of it worked.



Since all searches were leading to hardware/driver/BIOS related solutions, I decided to remove the EFI partition that I had to build while I was "toying with a bunch of things that were prohibiting the install".....



.....so now more background info is needed.



-while I was still ignorant, I could not get ubuntu to install on the drive, as I kept getting the the "grub-efi-amd64-signed failed installation" error....(I like to manually make my partitions) I was not creating the EFI partition necessary for the install. After I did, and everything installed.



-the DELL 7010 thin-client does not have EFI.. it just has legacy bios. (at least as far as I can tell, but there really isn't much as far as options in this particular BIOS, so I am almost sure about that).



SOOOOO... screwing around and testing removing the partitions I pretty much bricked the device, which was fine, I was ready to start over anyway because of something I discovered in all of the searches. I did not know that there were two modes of install (LEGACY, EFI)... legacy = purple boot screen, EFI = black boot screen.



I was getting the black screen. And there was nothing I could do anywhere to get the thin client to boot the install into "Legacy mode". I even tried a usb DVD boot install instead, it still booted into "EFI mode".



solution (for this case)



SOOOO... Being convinced that this was my problem. I popped the drive out and put it into a very old (2008-ish) ASUS box I have. I even took the same 18.04 install thumb drive and booted it into the ASUS box and it instantly comes up with the purple screen (legacy mode)... So I did my install there without a hitch..... And I even did a shutdown there just to make sure, and it worked.



I moved the newly installed drive back into the Dell thin-client, booted it up just fine.... shut down, just fine.
I added all of my customizations just incase they may have been the problem... shut down, just fine.



Problem solved for me... BUT



My question(s) now, is :
what is forcing the thin client to report itself as EFI... or what is making install read the BIOS as EFI?
and what about configuration when it was installed "wrong", caused the shutdown to not work?
If I knew that, I might have been able to come up with a tweaking solution rather than a rebuild.



@$%@#$!!!! new info



Rather than edit this before the submit button I will just let you see what has transpired while typing this....
So I was going to get some information to provide about the bios:



(Phoenix SecureCore Tiano Setup)



(Bios Version 3.0)



(Bios date 9/3/15)



Come to find out, IT IS UEFI!!! BUT, there is no where I can see on any menu to disable it... But to that point, I shouldn't need to! So the only takeaway now is that the shutdown problem existed when installed with UEFI.



I now wonder if the same problem will persist if I let the install automatically partition the drive? I plan to get my hands on another thin-client, I will update.... gottdammit!!!



... hope this helps someone with at least another place to look...
