Poweroff and reboot not working on a Lenovo Yoga510-14AST

I have searched some hours but couldn't find a working solution:

If I am normally booting Kubuntu 20.04 on the Lenovo Laptop powering off and rebooting does not work. The machine gets stuck after "Target power off". So the Splash Screen is gone and there is a black screen with Fan on and the Power-Led on.

Interestingly if I am booting into Recovery Mode powering off and reboot works as expected! (This lead me to the conclusion, that it has something to do with graphics)

I have already tried:

  • /etc/default/grub.conf with: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force" and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off" followed of course by sudo update-grub
  • shudown -Ph now, systemctl shutdown, etc.
  • Disabling Fastboot in BIOS
  • Bringing the Radeon Drivers to the latest version

But the problem still exist. I cannot enter TTY when the screen is black so I think there are no services running in the background which are not closed proberly. System seems fully shut down when the screen is black.

Any hints how to solve this?

When was the last time you updated the BIOS/UEFI? Some of the early devices had some buggy firmware that could result in this problem

Yeah it also came to my mind but as far as I could find there is only a .exe for the BIOS update so I would like to hold back this as a last resort .... (It is a Linux only laptop

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
