A fresh complete install of 16.04. Just like the others, gets down to: Reached target shutdown then stops. I've tried all the workarounds discussed, including swapoff -a, before shutdown attempt, etc. No joy. Have to hold power switch for hard shutdown very time. One observation of possible value. I also very recently installed 16.04 server on two other identical boxes. Neither of them exhibit this problem and both shut down cleanly. Only this system, which is a 16.04 desktop version -- again on an identical box -- is having this problem. Frankly, it's stuff like this that makes my efforts to move ordinary consumers over to Linux very difficult!
