Ubuntu :: "System Halted" But Won't Powerdown / Sort It?
Feb 22, 2011
I'm running Mythbuntu 10.10 on a new build machine.
Everything seems to be running pretty well so far apart from this one issue. It won't powerdown when I try to shutdown the machine.
I've got the nVidia drivers installed (and haven't tried fixing the splash screen yet) so I get the "Ubuntu 10.10" text and the coloured dots when shutting down.
The screen says "System will now halt" and you can then hear the harddrives power down but the display and CPU fan stay on. The only way to shutdown is by holding the power button in.
Interestingly, the system reboots just fine - (I've not tried suspend/hibernate yet).
I've looked at a number of solutions code...
I tried deactivating the proprietary drivers and hoped this wasn't the answer as I need them to run XBMC - shutdown still not working.
So... I'm all out of ideas now.
I've reported this as a bug so if this sounds similar to what you're experiencing please say it affects you too - (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/721706)

I using an old 1999 PC 512 MB RAM used to have W-2000. I had difficulties getting CD to be boot drive. I had to remove floppy drive to stop it from being the first drive. I'm using the Linux Starter Kit with Ubantu Live 9.10. My PC was having issues so I skipped the dual boot and went straight to a clean install. I had to double click on WUBI in the disk directory to get the install started. Install appeared to be going fine about 60%... then I got distracted to fix lunch for sick kid. When I came back screen was black and I could not wake up screen with mouse or keyboard. I turned off PC.. restarted and have message that says NO ROM BASIC System Halted.

The computer went into low graphics mode all by itself and then later threw a error that said incompatible processor system halted!the computer was getting really slow and made alot of noise.later the computer did something stranger..it restarted but normally when my computer normally restarts it bypasses the password page setup in bios of the computer. This time I still had to enter a password before it could reboot.Another thing...when it the ethernet cable was connected to the computer (internet connection was on) it was slow when it was unplugged it was not.I have read that unless you're running a server or something it is highly unlikeley you'll be hacked.

I've just upgraded my wife's netbook to UNR 9.10. This seemed to go well and the netbook has been working fine since. Yesterday my daughter used the netbook with out any issues, but when my wife tried it halted during boot with:
Swap waiting for UUID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
After a couple of reboots it started working fine, but looking at /etc/fstab the entry for swap is different to the UUID shown in blkid Do I just update fstab with the UUID from blkid?

The system asked me to reboot and I just shut down the computer.Some hours ago, I wanted to start the computer and the system halted after the first logo showed of Ubuntu, after 15 minutes waiting, nothing happened. I tried to push keys on the keyboard, nothing helped (I even couldn't put on CAPS or num lock on the keyboard).After a secoind reboot I didn't even saw the Ubuntu logo. When there's a black screen, it just sits there.I have no idea if there was a kernel update (I assume there was, because the system wanted me to reboot)

I'm trying to install 10.10 64bit on a DFI X48 mainboard with 8Gb RAM, I've tried installing from the Desktop CD, Alternate CD and USB stick, but all attempts fail with
uncompression error
-- System halted
I've run memtest86 and the RAM passes OK, I've even tried running the install with just 4Gb RAM but without any luck. I've even tried three different CD/DVD drives.10.04 64bit runs from the Live CD without any problems, but 10.10 isn't playing ball...

Since yesterday my computer behaves really strange. I fear it's a hardware issue. At most I did some minor updates, but no big software or OS change.
When I turn it on it goes immediately to [url]
I guess it reads
Code:
Chasis intruded
Fatal Error... System Halted.
So this happens before the boot manager... When I press the reboot button it goes to the boot manager and works seemingly fine - all I noticed that it doesn't remember the time, or better remembered the time form the last usage but doesn't count it forward. While using the time seems to pass in a normal speed.
What could this be? Some chip on the mainboard broken? Some BIOS virus (does something like that exist?) Or maybe just a cable which got lose?
I don't know which other informations could be helpful. I built it myself some years ago and the parts are pretty random (back then I didn't even know about linux compatibility nor used it at all). I have a dual boot with openSUSE 11.2 and windows xp, but the network card is deactived in xp for a year at least already.

There is something that I am not getting here. I get the following when I try to start my XP virtual box stuff. I take it that I actually need an XP disk to do this?
FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.
Here is a capture of what I have setup for XP virtual.

I am running RHEL 5.3 for Power Series blade technology. I am trying to initiate a halt of the system from runlevel 3 and have the system stay powered on once the system has been halted. This works on RHEL 5.3 for x86/64 system by typing halt -h. However, this same command in RHEL 5.3 for Power Series will halt the system and power it off. I would like the system to remain powered on and sit at the "Your system has been halted" message. how to accomplish this?

Ubuntu 10.04 has halted at screen showing progress graphic (Ubuntu name + 5 circles), it just keeps cycling thru this. No disk activity. I booted using live CD, Gparted detected the hard disk. What should I do next? Do a Gparted check and repair? That's assuming it's a disk problem but perhaps it's something else.
The motherboard is fairly old, about 6 years, it's an Aopen AX4SG-N with 4Gb RAM, but it goes thru the bios boot OK, no complaining beeps etc.
I'm thinking of a complete reinstall but would like to check other possibilities first (and maybe work out what happened).

I have Vista 32bit dual booting with Ubuntu 10.04
I want Vista to be my default OS so I installed Start-Up Manager in Ubuntu and set Vista as the default OS and changed the timeout to 0 seconds.
By doing this, I thought that it would always boot to Vista as if nothing else was installed (which is what I wanted it to act like) and then whenever I wanted to boot to Ubuntu I would hold down 'Shift' to load the Grub2 menu and select Ubuntu.
The problem is, every time I boot up the Grub menu won't load. I tried holding 'Shift' down, tapping repeatedly, but all that comes up is something like "Grub Menu...Loading" in the top left corner and then it boots to Vista.
I just need a way to boot back to Ubuntu to change the timeout.
Thanks.

It appears I've got some strange driver problem.. When I shut down this computer, the NIC apparently doesn't go off. The LEDs next to the ethernet socket keep blinking, so does the LED on my ethernet switch.
I don't have this problem when using XP, only Karmic. That leads me to think that there's something wrong with the network driver. My NIC is on-board, the ASUS M3A32-MVP. According to System Info this is the Marvell 88E8056 PCI-E.
It seems like ASUS doesn't have the drivers on their website (anymore), because their website search returns empty handed. Also the motherboard product page doesn't appear to know it.
Anyone have any tips / ideas? I'm just unplugging the machine before turning it off now... as it appears to be disturbing the rest of my network

Today I downloaded an update (can't remember which ones they were exactly) and afterwards I was told I needed to restart my computer. But once this happened I couldn't even get to the GRUB menu. before the grub menu was supposed to appear I got this error message
"error: no such device: /ubuntu/disks/root.disk" and
"error: no such device: /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/grub.cfg"
afterwards I get to some command line version of grub where I can type in commands like "reboot" but i don't have my old menu where I just selected the kernel I wanted. I have a dual boot with Wubi if that makes any difference. Does anybody have a way I can recover my copy of Ubuntu, or will I need to reinstall?

This is happening pretty often. when in ubuntu, usually while i'm browsing the web, my browser will go dim then a box will come up saying something along the lines of missing resources. the thing is, all my desktop icons will then turn to red x's and no text characters on any further boxes will show. when i restart it says grub error and takes one more restart to finally come on. i got fed up with it and switched over to windows 7 where my browser also froze and my computer froze up.

I have Fedora12 with dual boot WinXP on my laptop. Everything was working fine but suddenly one day I booted up my system and selected Fedora from boot menu , an error screen came - "[...]ERROR: tried to remove a fb that we didn't own Boot has failed, sleeping forever"
I don't know why It's happening ? The last thing I did on Fedora was to install some packages to start Wi fi and It was working fine from last 2 months, then why suddenly this bug ?
I googled about it but most of the cases are of Live CDs or USBs but in my case I had a whole different space assigned in my hdd for Fedora and everything was supercool.
Does it mean I have to do a fresh install of fedora12 again ?

I updated a RHEL 4 system today using up2date and when the system rebooted it just said "GRUB" on the screen for a few seconds and then restarted (and did this over and over and over).
I booted from a rescue CD and was going to reinstall grub.
Here's the kicker: this machine has two hard drives configured with software RAID 1, and I don't want to screw up the mirroring by tinkering with grub.
/etc/fstab shows that /boot is at /dev/md0 but "/sbin/grub-install /dev/md0" doesn't work ("/dev/md0 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive").
I have a bad feeling that if I do "/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda1" that I'm going to screw up my mirroring.

Is there any way for me to make it NOT run when the server is rebooted/halted?

I'm trying to compile libetpan-0.57 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.2 64-bit and it is refusing to link against the 64 bit system libraries. I've tried everything I can think of. I've tried to hack libtool, run the command make was trying to run manually and changing the library search paths but nothing works. When I run the command make tried to run manually and change -L/usr/lib to -L/usr/lib64 most of the "skipping incompatible" library messages disappear except for "/usr/lib/libexpat.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format." Below is the output when I run make code...

I recently installed openSuse 11.2 KDE in a Dell 1535 laptop.
I tried to enable the Cube desktop feature through desktop settings and when I pressed the apply button the system crashed. The screen freezed and the laptop wasn't responding to anything.
So I rebooted the laptop and now every time gets stack in the green screen and trying to load but it never does. I suspect that it has to do with my ATI card because a couple of 3d games would crash the system too. I tried some solutions that I found here like disabling the desktop effects by tweaking kwinrc file but it didn't worked.
Does anyone know how to disable that Cube feature from failsafe mode?

I have installed Fedora 8 on an old PC to use as a home network and I am having trouble getting a Windows PC running XP to get through to the internet, but I am able to access the internet from the Linux box with no issues. I can ping the gateway on eth0 from the Linux box, but I can't ping it from the windows PC. I am able to ping the IP address for eth0 from the Windows PC. My internet gateway is a modem/router from Hughes net. I also have a Netgear router between the Linux box and the Windows PC, but there doesn't appear to be any issues because I can ping both NICs from the Windows PC. I have pasted my Linux NIC config below. code...

Having a problem with my system hanging after updating Fedora 12. Here are my system specs:
Gigabyte MA770-UD3 motherboard
AMD Phenom 9950 Quad Core
6 gig Corsair DDR 800
1 x 160 gig SATA (OS)
1 x 500 gig SATA (data)
I have my system configured for dual boot with Windows 7. After installing F12, I can reboot with no problem. However, after I install the kmod-nvidia drivers, my system hangs on reboot. If I press any key on the keyboard, it will start to load, the freeze until I press a key again. I have tried both Fedora 12 x64 and i386 with the same results. Here are the steps that I took to install the kmod-nvidia drivers code...
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?
