<b>Workaround</b> and update that may aid in debugging. I have learned recently (through extensive testing) that pm-hibernate works flawlessly! As a workaround I set KDE to hibernate when the power button is pressed and not ask for a password on resume. Now I can press the power button and the machine "hibernates" which, for some reason, successfully gets the computer to poweroff instead of just rebooting.
I followed this guide to enable hibernation on KDE in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html Don't forget you have to reboot the machine before the settings take effect, and I had to set the .pkla file rwx for everybody (i.e., sudo chmod 777 /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla ). Then it worked great. The settings for the power button in KDE are in systemsettings -> power management -> energy saving and systemsettings -> power management -> advanced settings Please keep me posted if this bug every gets fixed, but I'm happy to have found a better workaround than always holding the power button for 5 seconds to force a poweroff. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1499556 Title: Computer Reboots Instead of Halting Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: With Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, everytime 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). The system hard shuts down if I hold the power button for 5 seconds.
