Peach OSI TW 16.04 LTS build on Xubuntu, Kernel 4.4.0-217-generic.

Problem with shutdown started with 4.4.0-216-generic and is still in 4.4.0-217-generic which is the newest kernel for my setup.

If the machine has been idle for a while, sometimes with Firefox 88.0 open, sometimes after using VLC player - then it hangs on shutdown, Screen is off but wifi and bluetooth light is on(its off when totally shutdown). At this point not even ESC work(as the screen is off and never comes on), only by holding the power button the laptop turns off.

Restarting sometimes work ok, but from time to time it can take up to 10 min to start up(where normal startup is 30seconds).

Editing grub and adding noefi after quiet splash, worked for a while and then last night it would not shut down again and I had to use power button. this morning it started up normal 30seconds.

I have had updates comming in, I have installed Intel graphic tool to update the driver but problem persist, so don't think its a graphic card driver issue.

Many here has reported it on other systems with totally different config, so I think this is a kernel issue that seem to pass through in newer kernel updates.

Also seem that it is not only 16.04 since it has been reported in newer versions too.

I'm still using 16.04 because there is no 20.04 Peach(now named Patriot) after the author died in september this year - I might move to 20.04 or newer when most of the bugs has been addressed.
