When I press shutdown button it kills all running processes and the screen goes black but my computer doesnt power off. Machines fans are still running and the screen is still on. It stop at the screen shows below.

I have to hold down the power button in order to completely shut down my PC. It seems all processes are stop working, but a blue dot under logo is still on and nothing happened afterwards.

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
Now find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Change this line to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force"
Save the file and close the file. Finally, in terminal, type:
sudo update-grub

To implement commands you must press ENTER button of your keyboard after each command. This command has been solve my problem.
Remember that at first line gedit is a name of text editor. So if you are in Lubuntu change gedit and write leafpad to open grub configuration file. Do the same for other Linux distro.
