Poweroff does not physically shut off Medion Akoya E1232T

[Tiedemate]

This bug is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1463422, same behaviour, but different hardware. Using commands
sudo shutdown -p
sudo shutdown -h
sudo halt
sudo poweroff
will work on the software side, but the system will not power off physically.

Sudo reboot leads to a completely unresponsive black screen.

Tested with Kubuntu 14.04, 15.10 with Kernel 3.19 and 15.10 with mainline Kernel 4.0.7, everytime exactly the same behaviour. The system is running the current BIOS version from Medion.

Tiedemate, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

Mainline Kernel 4.2rc3 also has this bug. Where do I have to put this tag?
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-4.2-rc3

[Tiedemate (bjoerntiedemann)]

Ok, I think I got it now ;-)

I just installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and found, that it reboots and shuts down just fine. It is running Kernel 4.1.6.
