Hey! I'm typing this from the laptop over WiFi. I powered on the laptop with the WiFi off, but then turned it on before booting up 18.04. I got connected, then did a reboot. That went without any issues, and I got back into Ubuntu 18.04. After getting back into Ubuntu, I started up this browser session; Ubuntu remembered my WiFi configuration from the previous boot. So, no issues rebooting with WiFi turned on (or off). Sorry, I no longer have 16.04, so I can't comment on that. My active kernel is 4.15.0-39-generic.
You say your laptop freezes on the Toshiba splash screen? Or did you mean the Ubuntu splash screen? Either way, mine is not freezing, either during power up or reboot. I doubt the WiFi being on will alter my hangs on power down, though I'll try that now. Hmm, I still have 4.5.7, I'll try rebooting with that to see if it changes anything. That was a 16.04 kernel. Hope this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1776616 Title: Ubuntu 18.04 getting stuck at "Starting Reboot" and "Starting Power- Off" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1776616/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
