Ubuntu Studio restarts instead of shutting down
by LinuxLiker from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53P6Q)
Hello -
I just installed Ubuntu Studio 20.04 on a HP ZBook15 on Sunday. The OS seems to be working fine except when I go to shut down. The system shuts down but within 10 seconds, (probably more like 5 seconds), it re-starts. I've been using the power button to shut down but I'd rather not do that.
I read some previous answers which suggest using terminal commands to shut the computer down and they all act the same way -- computer shuts down for a few seconds, then powers up again.
I'd appreciate suggestions to help me with this problem.
Thanks.
