Iv just brought a used Dell Optiplex 7050 after doing a lot of checking for a nice stable linux based “thin” client.
Problem is it will not shutdown. Even from a live stick. Windows works just fine.
It will just hang forever at the point where it is supposed to switch the system off. Can not access any terminals with Ctrl+Alt+F keys , F1 does nothing either.
I have tried :-
tried many BIOS setting, turned off all wake on lan and/or USB etc
also turned off virtulization.
tried apm=power_off acpi=force intel_iommu=off, there was also sugettion to remove “quite” and “wake” so i tried that too.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“udev.log_priority=3 apm=power_off acpi=force intel_iommu=off”
The BIOS is fully up to date ver 1.26.0

Just looking at the last few lines of the journalctl, it looks to be ending linux as far as linux can see.
journalctl -b -1
