System turns itself back on after shutdown
I've actually got 2 systems exhibiting this behavior. About 80% of the time or so, when I shut the systems down from the shutdown menu, they shutdown, but several seconds later turn themselves back on. It's not like a reboot, either, where the system still has power the whole time. They actually are off for a few seconds. I've checked the firmware settings, and they're all set to stay off after power loss. Both are haswell based systems. One is a Clevo W740SU from linuxcertified.com. The other is an Intel NUC D54250WYK. I was looking into installing firmware updates on the laptop to see if that helps, but it requires a pure dos environment (what is this, the middle ages?!), when I got the new NUC and noticed it's having the same problems, which makes me think it's not the firmware. Both of these systems should be about as Linux compatible as you can get with a full Intel stack in them. The laptop did this under 13.10 and was upgraded to 14.04 and still does it. The NUC has never had anything but 14.04 on it. These are all running Ubuntu Gnome, if it makes any difference.
