Shutdown and restart issues with Ubuntu 18.04

[Mark Phillips]

Stephen,

Sorry about the poorly formed message. From my Google research on the topic
of shutdown failures on Ubuntu 18.04, it appears there are no longer any
shutdown messages in the kernel.log or other logs. I was hoping someone
could point me in another direction to diagnose the problem, but I did not
frame my question very well.

Today, after a lot of googling today, I stumbled upon a way to diagnose the
problem...hit escape at the Ubuntu splash screen to see what is being
printed to the console as shutdown progresses! It seems my system is
waiting for mysql to shutdown. So now I have something to work on!

Thanks,

Mark
