Also it takes more then 20 seconds to shutdown.
ps: There is a solved solution, will this work, i dont want to break my system ?

Yes, it should. I’ve had to do the same thing in the past and it worked.

Thanks … Will it also decrease my startup time and shutdown time too ?

No, it won’t affect it. However, the less errors there are during boot could speed it up.

One More thing:
My grub file is:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet apparmor=1 security=apparmor resume=UUID=4c6e43ff-b159-40ca-89c7-1ebd60c1ffdf udev.log_priority=3"

will i have to do:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi_backlight=vendor"

or

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi_backlight=vendor apparmor=1 security=apparmor resume=UUID=4c6e43ff-b159-40ca-89c7-1ebd60c1ffdf udev.log_priority=3"

Sorry for taking your time.

Add it, don’t remove anything.
