Leave a Comment / ubuntu stuck on shutting down / By cloud host

Thats because you got problems with timezone settings:

Got the same issue, found a possible explanation: my cloud provider store time in local timezone (earlier than UTC); at startup MySQL boot first, then NTP, which updates the time to UTC; therefore, MySQL literally “started in the future” (sounds interesting).

Running sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata should do the trick
