I've bought a new acer aspire e14 laptop and installed ubuntu 15.04 but my problem is that I can't shutdown, suspend or reboot. it goes in the normal process the screen turn off but the led is always on, and the HDD never turn off.

I pressed esc while shutdown and the last message is

[83.973836] systemd_shutdown[1]: failed to finalize DM devices, ignoring

  • I suggest using upstart instead of systemd or install Ubuntu 14.04.

    I have this exact same problem with a upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04, plus I also added sda3_crypt disk encryption - cannot find a solution. restart works fine but shutdown hangs with the same final error msg

try # init 0 or poweroff for shutdown.

try # init 6 for reboot.
