Ubuntu 17.10 - Restarts automatically when powered off

Asked by Vijay

Running Ubuntu 17.10 on my desktop machine.

uname -a Linux xxxxxx-xxxxxx 4.13.0-32-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 25 09:13:46 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

When i try to power off, it goes down and automatically starts again i.e it reboots instead of shutdown. Doesn't have a wifi adapter.

Edited /etc/default/grub and modified as below:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi=noirq apm=power_off quiet splash"

and ran sudo update-grub

But it didn't help. Please advise.

Does the system correctly shutdown if you issue the command

sudo shutdown -P now

in a terminal window?

sudo shutdown -P now didn't work.

The issue got fixed by disabling Wakeup On LAN from bios.

Thanks Manfred and Andrew :)
