Public bug reported:

(Please forgive the length of this post, I hope this may be useful to
other owners of similar computers)

*Description*

After switching from Lubuntu 15.10 to Lubuntu 16.04, I cannot shutdown my 
(Lenovo A540) computer anymore. The Lubuntu logout screen hangs indefinitely 
and doesn't react to any (well, at least Ctrl+Backspace,  Ctrl+Alt+Fn, Ctrl+D 
and Ctrl+Alt+Del) keyboard key combination.
I thus have to press the power button for a few (~5) seconds in order to shut 
it down.

I didn't have this problem with Lubuntu 15.10, and don't have it with
Windows 10 (dual boot), hence I believe it is software-related.

*Context*

Some context may shed some light about my configuration tweaks.
I experienced the following problems with my Lenovo A540:

0. I can't see GRUB after installing Lubuntu (true for both Lubuntu
15.10 and 16.04)

Fix:  disable secure boot and then toggle "CSM" depending on the OS I want to 
use:
* with CSM enabled, windows bootloader is "chosen" (maybe because it is on the 
first partition) a
* with CSM disabled, GRUB is loaded. I can select between Linux kernel 4.2 or 
4.4 (either in regular or recovery mode) or windows, but selecting Windows 10 
will give me an error as CSM must be enabled.

1. After upgrading to Lubuntu 16.04 (kernel 4.4.0.35), Linux does not boot 
anymore.
Doc:  tracked in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1463422
Fix:  add "acpi=noirq" boot parameter
Cmd:  sudo sed -i s/GRUB_CMDINE_LINUX=""/GRUB_CMDINE_LINUX="acpi=noirq" 
/etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub

2. After upgrading to Lubuntu 16.04, the wifi chipset not recognized
Doc:  see for instance 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/71159/network-manager-says-device-not-managed
Fix:  use driver r8723au, not rtl8xxxu
Commands:
su - ;
echo blacklist rtl8xxxu >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf;
rmmod rtl8xxxu;
service networking restart;


3. After upgrading to Lubuntu 16.04, the names of network interfaces are not 
meaningful
Doc:

Fix:  Add a couple of other boot parameters, "net.iframes=0 biosdevname=0"
Cmd:  see point 1) and tweak it a bit
(so, at this point my GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX is "acpi=noirq net.ifnames=0 
biosdevname=0")
