I have seen indications that it makes a difference which tool or method was used to create the USB boot drive. So please tell us which tool was used when this bug appeared, as if you get different results when trying to shut down, when the USB drive was created with different tools or methods.

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.
