My ThinkPad X230 with Zorin 15 Core, not a dual boot, runs well but on shutdown (I am using the Plank), it restarts moments later. I have removed the battery and when the computer shuts down, I pull the plug to avoid the restart.

I have tried Shutdown and PowerOff in the terminal and using the other shutdown options available on the machine. Nothing works.

Anyone have any ideas for me, here? 

Thanks as always, Geeks... you're great...

Is there an option in the BIOS that is over-riding the shutdown and forcing it to boot back up?

Thanks SpywareDr. Not sure what I should look for in Bios. I've been through Bios, line by line, and don't see anything as you suggest. And no "Power up after Power Failure."

Thank you,

See if there are settings like Wake On LAN (WOL), Wake On Ring (WOR), or Wake On whatever ...

[brycrip]

Yes. In Bios>Config>Network>Wake On LAN. It is set to AC Only. Is that the proper setting?

Much thanks,

Bry

Unless you need it for some reason, recommend disabling it. More info here: https://en.wikipedia...iki/Wake-on-LAN

Gotcha. I'll do that and give it a try. And thanks for the link. Haven't read it yet, but will. Let you know what happens.

Much thanks,

Flippin’ fantastic. Thank you SpywareDr, you gave me my little computer back. Disabling “Wake On LAN” did the trick. Again, thank you…

No problem.
