These are the messages shown on the screen when I press a key just after the Xubuntu splash screen starts:

I have to press the power button for a while to have it shut down. This is a dual boot system: Windows 10 and Xubuntu 14.04. I updated BIOS version to A10 a couple of days ago. It hanged when trying to shut down from both Windows and Xubuntu. After installing the firmware update from http://www.dell.com/support/article/mx/es/mxbsdt1/SLN300281/EN, the computer shuts down correctly from Windows, but still gets stuck when trying to shut down from Xubuntu, no matter if using the "Shutdown" button or running "shutdown -h now" or "poweroff" from a terminal. I found a similar bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1341925?comments=all, but the solution mentioned there did not work for me, also, I don't have any problems when rebooting the computer, just when trying to shut down.
