I had the same problem but it started after I uncomment the following line in the /etc/default/grub file:
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console. I commented it again and the PC start to shutdown again without problems. I commented this line at first because I had a problem with my screen resolution mode... it was always as 640x400 so I commented that line and my system let me choose another mode. Of course when I commented the line again the resolution started again in 640x400, but I changed the line GRUB_GFXMODE=640x400 to GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 and it works fine in this mode... I will try other modes later but maybe this can help you all. The GRUB_TERMINAL line is related to the graphical terminal and the line GRUB_GFXMODE is related to the Mode of the graphical terminal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1464917 Title: reboot hangs at 'Reached target Shutdown' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/systemd/+bug/1464917/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
