PC doesn't turn off after updating the kernel

Support Kernel

Hi there,

After updating the kernel to the lastest version, everytime I try to turn my computer off either by using the terminal with shutdown with/without the -f flag or any other commands such as reboot, halt or using the OS GUI the screen becomes black but nothing happens, so I have to manually press and hold the power button in order to turn the computer off.

Select your previous kernel in the advanced section of the GRUB menu and give linux59 another try with the next kernel update.

How do I access GRUB?

When you boot up, if not keep pressing ESC button when booting.

I wasn’t able to find GRUB when I was booting up, sadly.

Try pressing shift when booting up or do the following:

Open a terminal and type sudo nano /etc/default/grub and look for the following line GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and change the value to 5 so now it becomes
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=5

Save and exit with ctrl+o press enter and exit with ctrl+x then type sudo update-grub

Now your GRUB menu will appear for 5 seconds when booting up.
