Hello, I have a Dell e6420 running Kubuntu 18.10. Everything works fine except when I reboot the system it "hard-boots" the system. What I mean by this is its almost like when you hold the power button down and the system kicks off, then you press the power button again to turn it back on. It does this anytime i reboot from linux but if i do the same thing from Windows 10 it soft reboots (meaning the system doesnt turn off, windows just shuts down and returns to bios then boots back up again). I would love for it to do that under Kubuntu if possible because im worried its hurting the hard drive from suddenly being turned off.

Nevermind guys, fixed it!
The fix is simply edit grub configuration:
1) open a terminal and type: sudo nano /etc/default/grub (press enter and enter your password)
2) look for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and add reboot=w between the quotation marks
3) hold down CTRL and press X then hit Y to save changes and then hit enter
4) type sudo update-grub and press enter. This will update the grub configuration with what you just entered.
5) Profit.(note that the first reboot after you update the config will be a hard reboot but all reboots after that will be soft) -
