      From the last 3 boot/shutdowns 2 were successful (with error warning), 1 not successful. Awesome.... :rolling_eyes:

      Is this running on bare metal or in a VM?

            If this is a fresh install.... Does it happen with any other distros? (or Ubuntu 15?)

              @dafyre Yes, just installed this morning, so haven't spent the time on other distros or releases. I think the most aggravating part is that it's sporadic. I would like to figure it out instead of going back a release.

                I wonder if you could move back to an older Kernel? (assuming you've run updates)

                  @dafyre You mean like a downgrade to 14.04? AFAIK that is not possible without a clean install.

                    You should be able to, there is even a how-to.

                      I'm talking about the Linux kernel... the 14.04 is the whole Ubuntu version... From your server run umm...

                      uname -r
                      

                      should tell you the version of the linux kernel...

                      Have you done software updates yet?

                        @dafyre Ah, gotcha. Yes, it is a 16.04.1 installation and is completely updated. I am running release 4.4.0-31-generic.

                          I'm fresh out of ideas for the moment.

                            @dafyre no problem, too much time on this would be a waste, it is a fresh install. Going back to 14.04. Just would have liked to figure out what it is, kind of feels like giving up... 😉

                              lol. Yeah. I'm having an issue in my Tumbleweed install... also a fresh install, so I know the feeling.

                                Ubuntu 16.04 shutdown issues here, too. But it fixed itself after it updated.

                                  It's not.

                                    @DustinB3403 Indeed! Never had any problems with Ubuntu server.

                                    I always have issues with it 🙂

                                      @scottalanmiller Really?? I hate to say it but I am really thinking about going to centos for these kind of things. I downgraded completely to 14.04 and it is running like a charm. I just have been using Ubuntu for such a long time.... 😕

                                        I only use Ubuntu when I have to. For servers it's CentOS first and Suse second and Ubuntu as a last resort for special cases.

                                          @scottalanmiller I couldn't find a way to mark the post as closed/ answered. Do I need to do anything to shut this one down?

                                            It's currently marked as a discussion rather than as a question. In theory you can use the Topic Tools and "Mark as Question". Once it is a question, then you can go to an individual post and mark that one as the answer OR you can use the Topic Tools again and just mark it generically answered.
