have you tried to holding power button?

[abraoximenes]

Holding power button is one of the last resort, when it has not gained a solution.. I hope if there are friends in this forum who had experienced the same problem, they can share their experiences how to solve this stuff...

try 'init 0'

@staticn0de: I had run the command you mentioned as well. Even, It has been re-installed for 3 times with the ISO file which had been verified. However there has been no change. :'(

Hey,

Few more unorthodox things to try.

Press control + alt + f1 and then /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop

Once gdm3 has stopped, use shutdown -h now.

Other things,

Kill network manager and try to shutdown.

It may also be a bios setting. Something like wake on lan waking it up, maybe try and reset to defaults?
