Public bug reported:
I am having this issue with Ubuntu 18.04. where it does not shutdown
gracefully and then boots into Grub recovery mode when I start it back
up. This typically happens if I don't close each and every program
properly before shutdown. I am aware this is caused by the faulty
shutdown behaviour of certain programs. However, this does not make it
any better as there are many programs which don't close themselves
properly on shutdown and I have no influence on this. This is not very
convenient.
This is what I would expect (how it works on Windows for example):
- When I power off a screen should appear showing me a list of programs
which are still open and asking me if I want to aboard the power off to
save my progress or if I want to proceed with the shutdown.
- In case I proceed with the shutdown Ubuntu closes the programs
properly and then powers off.
Intermediate fix: You can disable Grub recovery from showing by putting
this line into /etc/default/grub : GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT="0" This is
not a proper solution though as Ubuntu still fails to shutdown
gracefully. Grub recovery mode is merely hidden (not recommended).
