[Bug 1729437] Re: Ubuntu 17.10 hangs on reboot after installation

[Paul White]

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 17.10 (artful) reached end-of-life on July 19, 2018.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when
using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you
do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days
time.

Title:
  Ubuntu 17.10 hangs on reboot after installation

Status in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After installing ubuntu 17.10 desktop a window asking for a reboot opens.
  After selecting the reboot I get the following error message from systemd: 'A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up (21s / no limit)'
  The system hangs and continues to display this error message.
  As far as I can tell this message comes up during the shutdown part of the reboot.

  I used 'ubuntu-17.10-desktop-amd64.iso' as installation image on a usb
  drive, I started the installer by selecting 'Try Ubuntu without
  installing' in the boot menu and clicking the installer icon after the
  live systems boot up.

  Happily I also found a workaround. Before booting the live system I
  changed some boot parameters with grub from 'quiet splash' to
  'noplymouth' and then the installation worked and a proper reboot
  after installation was possible.

  To make things clearer I have attachted a screenshot of the error message.
  I encountered this bug on Lenovo ThinkPad T470 with an nvme SSD.
