[Gregory Kramida <algomorph@xxxxxxxxx>]

Judging by the number of different architectures affected, I speculate
that bug occurs on a specific class of hardware (specific set of
motherboard chipsets?)

I have had this same (or similar?) issue plaguing two of my desktop
machines out of three. All have Ubuntu 15.04 currently on all three, all
three have similar hardware configurations and the same M/B vendor, yet
different motherboards.

What I would like to know is, specifically with what hardware components
could shutting down become an issue? How would I find out which one I
have (maybe, specific entries in output of "lspci", something in the
kernel log, etc.)? How do I determine whether two of my machines are
suffering from this same bug or a different one?

-Thanks

Bug description:
  Shutting down the computer using the menue does not work always correct. It often does not complete turn off the computer. The power LED and the LED of the bluetooth unit remain on. Also the fan is still running and won't stop.
  Shutting down the computer with "sudo shutdown -h now" using the terminal works fine.

  I am using a Dell Inspiron 1720.
