2 issues impacting basic Linux features:

First issue: Since I've upgraded to 22.04 my 2 NUCs, (from 18.04 and 20.04) both of them are unable to be powered-off by the command line. Neither the command

sudo poweroff

nor the command

sudo shutdown -P now

are doing the job. The NUC are always rebooting instead. The only 2 ways to switch them off is

  1. unplug the powercord
  2. USE the windows manager GUI command (upper button on the right corner of Standard 22.04 windows manager.

2nd Issue: GRUB_TIMEOUT delay parameter placed into /etc/default/grub does not have any effect (Grub 2.06)!

As these 2 NUC should host network services and virtualization, they are not supposed to get windows manager but just a ssh services. Please can you help me to find a fix. Power off and shutdown are basics for many decades!

    Please don't ask the same question again and again. [22.04 Server automatically reboots after sudo shutdown -P now or with sudo power off instruction](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1433700/22-04-server-automatically-reboots-after-sudo-shutdown-p-now-or-with-sudo-power) – user68186 Oct 06 '22 at 12:25
  • Check your UEFI settings. Power State set to Always-on will automatically power-on if a usb adapter is connected. When changing grub.cfg does not take effect, maybe grub is using some other root than you expect -- could you have some other root which really controls the grub menu? – ubfan1 Oct 23 '22 at 00:44

Keep calm :)

shutdown -h now

This will effectively halt your system.

As for the Grub timeout, after you have edited/etc/default/grub

sudo update-grub

Is required to notify the bootloader about your changes.

Good luck!

history | grep grub reports:

1797  sudo vi /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub
1821  sudo vi /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub

shutdown -h now is not running better than poweroff cmdline, my parameters are:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
