Why you reported your problem against the VLC media player is a mystery but since since six months have now elapsed without further comment can this bug report now be closed?
If you should still have an outstanding issue then I would suggest creating a new bug report against the Linux kernel by issuing the following command ubuntu-bug linux in a terminal window. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871948 Title: Laptop has to power off - Cannot restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1871948/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
