For the last couple of weeks I have had problems with shutdown. I was running a Dell XPS 9315 with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Kernel 5.15.0-117-gen. The shutdown normally lasted 3-4 seconds, but after new Kernel versions (114-115-116-117?) the shutdown took many minutes, with two attempted restarts (splash screens) along the way, and finally a great amount of text on the screen, but I was not able to capture the text, nor can I find it anywhere in the logs I have been able to find. Pressing Esc-F1-F2 didn't stop the text before it shut down totally. I then reverted to Kernel 113 from two weeks ago via Timeshift, and shutdowm works fine again. So I have disabled the automatic installing via Canonical and am now waiting for a fix of fixes of the latest Kernel versions. Which I hope has been noticed by the relevant programmers. I have attached my current INXI, after Timeshift restore, and this works for shutdown (kernel 113).
