Hello people,
I have 2 big problems, the first one is that booting only works in about 60-70% of times (when it doesn't work, it gets stuck and I can't enter any command). I mention this one because it may have to do with the second one, but I am not sure.
The second one, and the one I'd like to solve with you guys in this thread, is that rebooting/shutdown doesn't work. For example "sudo reboot" or "systemctl reboot" or "systemctl poweroff" or "sudo shutdown" intiate systemd to close modules/processes but then just before powering off, the computer gets frozen. (yes I waited more than 5 minutes and nothing happens).
According to this page: https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Softwa … Debugging/, the command
sync && poweroff -f
should tell me whether it is a systemd or kernel "bug". I tried that command when I was on the lxde desktop environment, what it did was freezing the computer (mouse cursor wouldn't move).
I've taken a photo about what happens when I usually type "systemctl poweroff", at the moment it gets frozen. Here it is: http://i.imgur.com/k0PGluq.jpg
Thus, apparently the problem is NOT related to systemd.
I also tried a live CD version of Lubuntu (so it has another kernel, probably 3.16 or 3.18) and it had the same problem.
However I dual boot with Windows 8.1 and reboot/shutdown work properly so it isn't a hardware problem.
Worth mentioning is that the hardware is a HP laptop, the exact model and specs can be found there: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04439109.
Thanks for any tip to solve the problem(s) or diagnose it.

man-db cache can take a while to update. Disable it and see if you can boot or some issues persist.

Well it's a fresh install, I have almost no program and if I understand well this is ran only once per day while my booting /shutdown problems are permanent. Thus I highly doubt that this is the culprit.
But ok, I'll mask the service.
Edit: Suspend doesn't work either. The screen turns black but the keyboard lights are on and the fans are on.
Edit: The booting problem is definitely not related to mandb. The system hangs right after the word "blocks" in the screenshot in the 1st post of this thread.

Try disabling "fast startup" in Windows.

Will your system reboot properly if you use either of these kernel parameters:
reboot=bios
reboot=acpi
Have you tried:
systemctl poweroff -i
systemctl reboot -i

Thank you. Unfortunately none of this worked (I had fast start up disabled), I took care to generate the grub.cfg file after each change.
Instead, however, what worked for me is:
echo "blacklist dw_dmac" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
echo "blacklist dw_dmac_core" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
I found out the answer at https://askubuntu.com/questions/580666/ … ilion-x360.
It seems a very common problems with HP laptops so I hope that this helps hundreds of people.

echo "blacklist dw_dmac" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf echo "blacklist dw_dmac_core" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf <<< "blacklist dw_dmac"
sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf <<< "blacklist dw_dmac_core"
Or perhaps:
# echo -e "blacklist dw_dmac\nblacklist dw_dmac_core" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
