Problems At Shutdown?

[MarkHaysHarris777]

I'm running the most current, stable kernel. Just pulled my Pinebook out of my briefcase to discover it didn't actually shutdown when I last ended a session (reworked a bit of code on the bus this am), and my battery is all but dead.

Anyone else experience something similar? Any thoughts on what logs I might look at to start to get to the bottom of things?

News to me. What do dmesg and Xorg log say ? The 'stock' ubuntu mate image ?

I'll check the logs as soon as I'm done at work. Image is stock, I'm accustomed to triggering shutdown via the shortcut called when the power button is pressed and selecting the default action by pressing enter.

This also happens to me frequently.  

...  I also have the latest non pre release on my Pinebook ( stable tested ) .  Often it will not power off... if the unit goes all the way flat when you're not aware,  it may not ever recharge again !   (important)

What I do with mine is wait a few minutes after I shutdown ;  if the LCD is still on ( dark yes, on yes ) and the power LED is still on...   then press and hold the power button until the LED goes out. 

I don't have a reason for this yet either;  but, I have noticed that if I do not have a network connection at power down its more likely to happen, or if I turn off the blue tooth before power down;  haven't really put my finger on it yet.

But, its not just your system.   I have not reported it till now because my system is a pre production unit that I'm testing.  ... haha and I've modded it, so... not really fair to put it in the mix with a general statement of failure.
