OpenSUSE Install :: Computer Does Not Shut Down / Restart
Oct 2, 2010
Brand-new to Linux. Using a computer with openSUSE 11.3 (64-bit) freshly installed. Install went flawlessly without any kind of error messages.
Hardware used: MSI X58 Eclipse, Intel i7-920, 6 GB memory, Seagate 500 GB SATA.
openSUSE is the only OS installed.
After the install is finished, all programs work fine. HOWEVER when I try to shut down/restart the computer nothing happens! I basically have to use the power off button to shut down...

When I shut-down the computer from OpenSuse 11.4, it does log out and exit the operating system but the computer does not turn off. Can this possibly be corrected?

I love Ubuntu, and I've been using it ever since a friend of mine recommended it last year. The problem I've been having lately is that no matter what version I use, and how I install it, it keeps freezing up on shut down and/or restart. It's been doing that for the past 6 months or so, and I had stopped using it for awhile, because I wanted to wait for the latest release and see if it keeps happening. Well it does...
I am currently using the new windows installer, wubi, and I don't see any difference from the way it was before, when I installed it directly, not through Windows... I keep seeing the same problem, however, and I am really starting to get tired of it.

I am having problems with getting the drivers to work for a geforce 9500gt.To get started Im working with a fresh install of 8.10, and I have successfully installed the driver package for this card from nvidia's site, version 260.The problem comes after I restart the computer. It fails to load. I am able to install the driver and start X and it works greatI can even restart x and it still works. but as soon as I restart the computer it doesn't load. I then need to reinstall the driver. I am curious if anyone has an idea of whats wrong here? I am wondering if it's a possible xorg.conf problem so I will post that below.
xorg.conf file
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
[code].....

I installed nVidia drivers for Ubuntu 11.04 but when I went to restart the computer (to complete the installation) it froze on the splash screen at the third "dot" and I had to turn off the computer manually.
I can shut down the computer, but every time I restart I get the same issue (except sometimes only the "dots" appear with lines of code running in the background).
I read on-line that hitting "F1" or "ALT + F1" right before the splash screen appears might work...but it doesn't.
My concern is that maybe the nVidia driver is "activated but not currently in use" because it didn't install properly due to the whole not restarting on it's own thing.

I'm running Debian Squeeze x64 and have an odd problem with both Empathy and Pidgin. After I launch the program and add my accounts everything works fine. When I shut down either program and restart the accounts will not connect. I have to delete the accounts and re-add them and all is good until the next time. It's not a firewall issue as I've tried it with the firewall turned off.

Recently I installed openSUSE 11.2 (GNOME) on my HP DC7100 machine. I was very excited about it until shortly, when I started discovering the problems.
One of the more severe problems is that I can't shut down the system:
Pressing the "Shut Down" button brings me back to the login screen. From there I still can't shut down, but I also can't log-in any more. The only option left is the hard shut down.
"Restart" sometimes works, but often ends up in the login screen too.
As far as the "Suspend" and "Hibernate" is concerned, I did not experience any problems there.
By the way, after the installation, I consumed all available updates (including the kernel upgrade). I'm not aware it the problem existed before the updates.

A few days ago I installed Nvdia fx 5200 drivers and after that I had on my grub menu Opensuse 2.6.31.8-0.1 Desktop along with Default. Since Desktop worked alright and Default would work only in terminal, I erased Default from Grub menu. Yesterday Update Applet warned about some updates, I installed them and had on Grub menu 2.6.31.12 Desktop with 2.6.31.12 Default. When I wanted to shut down computer, the screen froze. It works when I reboot but if I want to shut down, it doesn't do this, I have to make a forced shut down. How can I solve this problem?

I just installed 11.3 and Gnome yesterday and all went well except that the system will not shut down, it simply reboots. I've tried shutting it down using halt and shutdown now as root and each time the machine reboots. I didn't have this problem with 11.1.

Is there a combination of key-strokes to shut down 11.3?

I powered up and saw to my consternation that several Firefox Tabs did not load (server unavailable). I gave it several tries, but it did not work. Hiding Firefox, I saw that KWallet was waiting for a password. After that, I entered the password for SU, and Firefox worked. Then it struck me:
I did not login - repeat: I DID NOT LOGIN - , no username, no password. And the password for KWallet is not the same as my user PW.
If I am correct, openSuSE 11.4 (64 bits) may have security problem. Do: Start Firefox 4.0 Beta 12 Start some application that needs a password stored in KWallet, do not enter the PW Place the Firefox window over the KWallet wind for the PW Do a shutdown via the Icon Wait 30 seconds after power down Turn the power on
If you now enter the session without specifying any user name or PW, then this message has some merit; if not, I will try to duplicate the issue tomorrow.

OK, so basically my problem is that I can't log out, shut down, or restart my computer through the GUI. The thing is, it used to work. Note: this started happening right after I put in the lock / logout widget, but it's really a pain to have to go through the Kickoff menu to lock the screen each time, and leaving my files, online accounts, and what's on my screen open to anyone who wants to snoop is not an option. I may have to just suck it up and lock the screen the old-fashioned way, but only as a last resort.
Configuration: An older Gateway (idk the exact specs) desktop machine with Windows XP and Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic (dual-boot)

Since a long time I have a problem when shutting down my computer. I have ubuntu 8.04 installed, and I do install regularly all the updates including new kernels, etc. Here are the symptoms: After pressing "shutdown" (or issuing a command in terminal) it happens (always) that the screen is still working at the end of shutdown process (ubuntu progress bar is at minimum and it stays visible). Also, CPU fan is still working. However, power and HDD lights go off.
The only possible way to shutdown computer at that moment is holding power button for 5 seconds. However, restart works OK. Now, I am sure that shutdown worked earlier fine, but unfortunately I cannot remember when the problems started: either when I installed 8.04 or after installing some of the kernel updates. Configuration: Asus 5pgl-mx motherboard, 1.5 GB ram, nvidia graphic card (sorry, not sure what model), etc.

I have had an issue with the log out since yesterday. instead of shutting down the computer, the computer loaded the GDM. The only way to shut down is to click the log out on the GDM. What to do to resolve it?

If I click on the shutdown bottom (in my lower panel) I get an new window to choose if I really want to shut down or restart or suspend or hibernate. Under that alternatives there is an text that says: "[...] The system will automatically shut down in 60 seconds." Why is the text "60" not running down like a countdown? Can I set another (shorter) time for the automatic shutdown (10 seconds)? If so, where? Or shut I just make another bottom to shut down immediately?
I use (normally) OpenSuse/SUSE Linux
Release 11.1
Kernel Linux 2.6.27.45-0.1-pae
Gnome 2.24.1

I'm using opensuse 11.2 and a week or so ago it suddenly stopped shutting down the computer, or rebooting. It shuts the screen down and that seems to be it, so I have ti switch it off. However a day or so later it began to reboot when asked, but still won't shut down. I'm dual booting it with Unbuntu 9.04 using grub2, but it's been that way for many months without problems.

I've come across a problem just recently where my laptop will restart after I shut it down from within Debian. I've looked into my BIOS for anything that might trigger this, but could not find anything. I run Debian Testing 64-bit on a Dell Inspiron 17R laptop.

I seem to get different options depending on the user. On my main, admin user, when I click on the `power button` icon on the right of my taskbar, I get a choice of:
shutdown
restart
suspend
hibernate
and if I want to log off I click on the start button.but when I log on as my `guest` user, who has next to no permissions, I get log off, switch user etc on the `power button` icon. It would be nice to have all these options on the `power button` icon on my admin user. Can this be achieved? Why are they different?

I'm going to guess this has to do with me updating yesterday, as there were no problems before that. Which kind of ticks me off, because I came back to ubuntu because I got tired of micromanaging updates in arch.
Audio is down. The volume can be changed, but it isn't reflected in the volume icon at the top of the screen. Sound preferences show the only output available is a dummy speaker. When I try to restart or shut down, it just logs me out of my profile and takes me to the login screen. As always, if you need more info, just tell me where to find it.

I'm stuck in the "log off" mode. I don't get the shut down menu. It started when I turned the computer on today. I got a verbose boot up and had to login and enter password and run "startx". Then I got a gray screen before the splash screen.
I had been trying to get alsa to start in the "runlevel" section yesterday, could I have messed something up in there causing this?

Code:
sudo shutdown now
command does not shut the computer down
When the command is typed a, all the programs are closed and proceeds to shut down. But after some time, screen gets stuck(plymouth animation stops moving). But the computer is still working. Fan is running , Power LED is on. LED showing hard disk usage blinks at equal time interval. There is no problem in shutting down using the button on panel. So I suppose it is not a hardware problem. More over there is no problem in windows. The graphics card is Nvidia Geforce 7300GS. I am using proprietary Nvidia driver.

I have installed Linux Mint 10 on a HP Pro Book 4720s, see here: [URL]
After the installation I wanted to shut down the PC and used the button in the menu. Then appears the Linux Mint Screen and nothing happens.
I could just shut down the PC by pressing the power button for a few seconds, but that isn't a solution.

Last night I decided to upgrade to Natty Narwhal 11.04 from MM10.10. I tried to leave it to install overnight.
Some bright spark turned off the power supply to my computer.
I don't know exactly what stage the installation was at, but it must have been installing the upgrade at least, because I'm now locked out of my computer.
Boot up progresses until the ubuntu loading screen. At this point is says,
'Ubuntu 10.10'
The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present Continue to wait; or press s to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.
(If I press 'S', it says something like 'cannot find /tmp folder')
I don't know if the upgrade installation was completed, but I suspect not, because the power was turned off just an hour into the installation. Also it still tries to load Ubuntu 10.10.
Anything I can do besides formatting for a fresh 11.04 install? If only to save some files?
