After loading of Linux boot and login is fine. None of the above work to shutdown the system. If I press and hold the power button the system will power off..... BUT..... as the power button is released the system boots back up.

Any ideas.... I have followed most suggestions and not found a fix. I do not believe it is an OS problem... seems to me a BIOS problem. There seems to be no setting in the BIOS that will prevent the reboot.

Thanks in advance for and suggestions....

What happens when you press ctrl-alt-delete and select the Shut Down option?

ctrl-alt-delete in desktop does nothing. No response at all.

Hello,

have you tried these in terminal

Code:
sudo shutdown -h now

Code:
sudo init 0

Code:
poweroff
sudo is not meant to be needed for "poweroff" in 16.04, it may be worth checking this yourself.

for to force a shutdown

Code:
sudo poweroff -f
