Chris, Sorry I didn't answer sooner. For some reason I didn't get an email when you commented on this thread (probably went to spam or something). Anyway, I ran the suggested command and it barfed the above ~20 comments :). Hopefully that helps!
Also, I noticed a quirk about this bug. If I have done a recent package update/upgrade (via cli or the muon update manager) I will sometimes get a normal shutdown (not a reboot) afterwords. It seems to be if there is an updated kernel, but I can't see that with 100% confidence yet. I haven't been watching the updates / reboot problem closely enough. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1499556 Title: Computer Reboots Instead of Halting Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I recently installed a new motherboard ( http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/QC5000-ITXPH/ ) with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and now when I try to shutdown my system reboots instead. I have tried a variety of shutdown methods including: sudo init 0 sudo shutdown -P now sudo shutdown now sudo shutdown -h now sudo shutdown -H now sudo shutdown -HP now (all previous variants with "now" replaced with "1") shutting down via the KDE menu (clicking the menu, clicking 'leave' section, clicking shutdown in the dialog box). All of these cause the system to reboot, when I expect that the system should shutdown. The system can shutdown only if I hold the power button for 5 seconds (hard shutdown). I have dug around in the bios, nothing in there seems to help. I even tried changing random features (things related to wake on lan, etc) after reading that some specific IRQs may be causing the problem. Here is the output of lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Release: 14.04 Codename: trusty and uname -a Linux livingroom 3.16.0-49-generic #65~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 9 10:03:23 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I have also attached a zip of my entire /var/log directory so you don't have to ask for my logs one at a time. Keep in mind that this bug happens everytime I try to shutdown, which I do more than once a day on average. I frequently shutdown and then hold the power button when the reset occurs, thereby causing a hard reset before the kernel has loaded when it is safest. This is an annoying workaround.
