Reached Target shutdown

1 out of 8 times Ubuntu freezes at shutdown. When I click on Esc I see the log and it gets stuck at 'Reached target shutdown' but it never shuts down. I read somewhere about it's a bug and tried to follow the step of pressing Alt+Prnt screen and then typing REISUB but nothing would happen. I have been facing this problem for a while now. Could someone please guide me through the solution? Thanks!

Maybe the swap is still active when reaching "Target shutdown"; My solution was to force swap deactivation before reboot :

swapoff -a
swapoff /dev/md6

after that, the reboot went fine for me without any pause.
