Chris,

Thank you for working with me so closely on this issue!  I know it may
seem tedious, but to me it's very annoying and I would love to have the
issue fixed.

I have tried Kernels 4.3-rc7, 4.3-rc6, and 4.3-rc5  Unfortunately, all
of them exhibited the reboot / shutdown bug.  I have not had a chance to
move down the list and frankly, I am a bit reluctant to.

When I switched to these kernels, for some reason it introduced some
bugs / problems that corrupted my .KDE folder and I had to reset it
(which was very annoying).  I also had to switch off of the fglrx driver
as it is not supported / built for the newest unstable kernels
apparently.

Is there anyway I can continue to test the kernels listed here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D with some live
media so that I don't affect my current install of Ubuntu?  I would love
to aid the community in continuing to help track down and fix this but.
Not having a working .kde profile (and messing with the drivers via
tty1) is not my idea of usable! :P  I'm afraid that continuing to try
other kernels will have adverse effects on other parts of my system.

Thank you again, looking forward to your advice on how to move forward.

Title:
  Computer Reboots Instead of Halting

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  With Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, everytime I try to shutdown my system reboots instead. I have tried a variety of shutdown methods including:
  sudo init 0
  sudo shutdown -P now
  sudo shutdown now
  sudo shutdown -h now
  sudo shutdown -H now
  sudo shutdown -HP now
  (all previous variants with "now" replaced with "1")
  shutting down via the KDE menu (clicking the menu, clicking 'leave' section, clicking shutdown in the dialog box).

  The system hard shuts down if I hold the power button for 5 seconds.

  I have attached a zip of my entire /var/log directory.
