I have a macbook pro

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)

2.8 GHz Intel Core i7

16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

I have a separate partition for mac and ubuntu. Ubuntu is the main partition. it's about 250gig per partition.

I am currently running 15.10, but have had this issue on all the following versions 14.04, 14.10, 15.04 and current 15.10.

My swap partition is 32 gigs.

When I am in ubuntu and I go to settings and shut down, the system hangs on the splash screen. I must hard reboot the system. I have tried to ssh into the box and it is only possible after the reboot. Not when it is frozen.

The same thing happens when I just shut the lid of the laptop. However, after sometime, like the drive home from the coffee shop, the computer is humming and hot. So I immediately hard shut down.

I have been to irc and searched the web and found nothing that helps. If I can't get this to work, I'm going to have to learn how to use osx. Please help.

Thanks, Raif

If you use rEFInd to have a dual boot (Mac OS X, Ubuntu), you can choose to restart Ubuntu, rather than shut down it. Then, in the rEFInd screen (where you choose which OS to launch), you can choose to simply shut down the computer. It's a workaround, but it works for me...
