i have old dell inspiron 15 3542 laptop, i installed each and every linux there is one issue, fan keeps running even after shutdown but in windows it shutdown properly
 


G'day anish, Welcome to Linux.org


Which Linux OS do you have installed?....which version ?

Do you have any 'suspend' or power management settings enabled ?

Click on menu, type in power management....take a screenshot of that page and post in your next reply please.
 
If the above does not help....go into the bios, and turn OFF fast startup
 
i have tried all linux like: ubuntu, ferren, pop os, etc and i have installed A16 2020 bios update. i disable fast startup from bios ,and i tried changing different kernel version also nothing happened, currently i am using archcraft linux

ARE you duel booting with Windows? if yes then there may be a problem with a little windows code called safe guard, see the following from the ARCH pages
 
yes , i have dual booted but now i clean install on single disk still got the problem after 4 to 5 successful shutdown
 
There's about 3 dozen Linux to try which i can think of but having to flash each time ends up eroding precious energy to do more productive tasks while depleting patience. Depending on a connection's top speed the download can last minutes up to an hour or 2, flashing can prove even slower each time a new test is attempted, which can more than double the total time involved. Are you flashing again and again and again? Multi-boot alternatives do exist to address both the legacy MBR/BiOS and GPT/EFi systems, like YUMi available in multiple versions that helped me survive a Dull NoteBook, the Inspirion 3520 which i gathered was supposed to be conservative in design (read mature) and yet required weeks of time-consuming evaluations before i could finally acquire sufficient confidence to focuss on what worked best in my own hardware specific circumstances. In short, without a proper tool i'd have returned the product and asked for a refund i guess, to start over once more with yet another « Fix once, Break many » scenario because that's the curse attached to getting multiple choices for free.
 
OK it's an insperon from around 2014 [4 yrs younger than mine,] so I will suggest you try Mint LMDE
now to start check that there are no windows quick-start, or secure boot in the BIOS if there is make sure they are disabled. , download and write Mint LMDE to your usb then...
Save any work, then whilst powered up remove the power supply and any usb inputs, then press and hold the power button down for 60 seconds, release,
inset usb into the usb port nearest the power supply, re-connect power supply
switch on whilst jiggling F12 [to open the short boot menu]
toggle down to the usb holding your ISO-usb select and enter
now it should install to test mode, check everything works [sound, graphics,wi-ri & etc if all seems ok shut it down using the mint menu, and see if it switches off if it does start again from insert usb in port nearest power supply and do a full installation.

i tried mint lmde directly from usb , everything is working fine like wifi, sound, graphics, bluetooth but still same issue(shutdown)
 
i have dual booted but now i clean install on single disk still got the problem after 4 to 5 successful shutdown
So, it shutdown properly....as it is supposed to.......then reverted to not closing down properly ?

Did you install anything in that 4 - 5 shutdown period ?

Make any changes at all....anything !...?
 
Open Terminal

type in:


Diff:
shutdown

....and then hit enter.

This will time shutdown for one minute after you hit enter
 
You could also try, in terminal:


Sass:
sudo poweroff

or

press "alt-f2" and type "gksudo poweroff"

Also, click on menu and type in Driver Manager.....allow it to scan......it should result in shosing the graphics card that you have installed. You can also click to use the onboard graphics. Do that please. You will not need to reboot for that to take effect.
The try and shut down normally
 
if none of that does not help try this:....be sure to copy and paste the commands in

Type in terminal:


copy and paste in terminal:

Code:
EDITOR=gedit sudoedit /etc/default/grub

Then,
  1. Find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
  2. Change this to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force"
  3. Save the file and close the file.
  4. Finally, in terminal: sudo update-grub
  5. exit (to end the root shell)
Copy and paste where you can for accuracy

This solution came from here : it may also be worthwhile looking through the rest of the post

Here's a few commands to try:
Code:
shutdown -h now
systemctl poweroff
su -c "init 0"
/sbin/poweroff

One issue with the acpi=force option mentioned in the link from post #17 is that it's potentially impermanent. If using that option works for one kernel, it's not guaranteed to work for another after an upgrade because the acpi software in the new kernel may have altered and make the difference.

The notion of having to use a kernel parameter to perform such an ordinary task of powering off the machine is odd, to say the least. Probably better to try and get the power management system to work properly as intended.
