Shutdown problem on Cube i7 Stylus with Ubuntu 18.04 #107

Open rubensa opened 6 years ago

After installing the driver the system failed on shutting down (stuck). The system is a clean installation with all current updates to date. Kernel version is 4.15.0-20-generic

Workarround To allow it to shutdown again I had to change in Makefile line:

CONFIG_POWER_SAVING = y

to

CONFIG_POWER_SAVING = n

(in my case I also selected Non-Concurrent Mode)

That shutdown problem is not found on many systems - certainly not on mine. For that reason, I will not change that macro. The problem is likely due to some quirk in the user-space routines in Ubuntu 18.04. The beauty of open-source is that you can make the necessary change on your system. In addition, the fact that your system needs this change is now documented.
