If the Live USB is made without persistence, while everything runs fine, shutdown doesn't work. The screen blanks and a cursor flashes at the top left corner of the screen. I can wait for a few minutes but still nothing happens. I need to long-press the laptop's power button to shut down.
However, I can confirm that using the same version of mkusb and iso to create a persistent Live USB, the shutdown is normal.
I tried a Live USB using the Lubuntu 16.04 iso.
Hardware: Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop; Core2Duo; 64-bit, 4 GB RAM; USB 2 currently running Lubuntu 14.04 fully updated; uname -a:
Linux vasa1-Inspiron-1545 3.13.0-83-generic #127-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 11 00:25:37 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I used mkusb version 10.5.1 (http:// ppa.launchpad. net/mkusb/ ppa/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages) to make the Live USB on an 8 GB Transcend USB 2 pendrive.
