    I've got Elementary OS 0.4 Loki and it doesn't shut down (black screen with white cursor). The same sometimes occurs with screen lock. Touchpad is sometimes turning off and sometimes the Linux bricks.

    I've looked dmesg a few times, but how can I repair it?

    dmesg: http://pastebin.com/mnYWMUZM

    Kernel version: 4.8.0-040800rc8-generic. (I can't install older kernel than 4.8, because x.org server is bugged and it's making my fans spin very fast)

    Hi tyr,
    i had the same 100%-fan-speed issue with my asus notebook. There is a workaround for this: just add "acpi_osi=!" (without "") in your GRUB. While booting with kernel 4.4 press "e" for "edit" and type in like this:

    Linux_GRUB_Kernel_options_set_nomodeset_modeset_acpi2-GRUB.jpg

    After booting, the fan-control is working correctly. Now you must add this workaround in /etc/default/grub, so it is saved for the next reboots:

    etc_grub_default.jpg

    sudo apt-get install gedit
    gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
    sudo update-grub

    I hope this way your problem will be resolved - with Kernel 4.4 you have a more stable kernel which is more tested by other users. hopefully the issues are gone then.
