I am using Ubuntu 10.04. From last 3-4 days, after updating, I am not able to shutdown the system. I try to use command, but behavior is same Whenever I try to shutdown the system, it exits from desktop environment and a white screen displays on screen. And nothing happened. One time I did wait for 1/2 hr, but system dont seems to power down.

Have never been able to get the system to shutdown or fully poweroff using the installed OS. If I use the Knoppix live CD - no problem. System boots up fine and shuts down and powers off correctly. With the installed OS, it originally crashed on shutdown and had to power off using the power button. After trying many things, the OS shuts down, powers off the fans etc, but the keyboard is still lit. I cannot restart the system without turning off power at the power supply. Starting my computer by turning off the power supply switch, waiting
10-12 seconds, turning on the power supply switch and then hitting the power button gets to be very annoying after a few weeks.
Installed KDE and switched to that to see what difference it might make. System does not shutdown, but reboots instead. Switched back to Gnome. Have tried sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now and poweroff. Identical behaviour. System is completely up-to-date. BIOS, kernel, video drivers.
I'm trying to reboot the server (shutdown -r now).But it seems like nothing happened.
When I try "shutdown -c", the system prompts "shutdown: cannot find pid of running shutdown."
I have recently upgraded to the 10.04 Alpha and have been unable to reboot or shutdown. I know it's just an alpha and therefore problems are bound to exist, so I tried reinstalling from a live cd of Alpha 3. But I am still unable to reboot or shutdown.To clarify what happens, I click on shutdown or reboot, the pop-up appears, I click on the shutdown/reboot button and it seems to complete it. It says that processes have been killed and something has exited with 255. But my computer is still on. I am guessing that Ubuntu is shutting down, it's just not actually shutting my computer down or restarting it.

I installed 10.04 on my old Dell Inspiron 600m laptop. After using it for about an hour, I was suddenly had no option to shutdown or restart the system when logged in on the main and only account. The 'Shut Down' applet on my bar was greyed out and the shutdown option was missing from the system menu.
I removed the 'Shut Down" applet and was unable to re-add it afterwards (wasn't a selection when adding to panel). If I log off, selecting shutdown or restart from the login screen does nothing.
'Sudo shutdown now' will shut it down, though it won't power the system off; it just hangs on an all-white screen.
I saw other posts suggesting Open Office Quickstart was the culprit, though I am not running this.
From couple of mins my system shutdowned without my permission I thought I'm infected or something because I installed aMSN so I thought it's because of it, but I checked my syslog and found this:

I just installed apt-get hibernate and when my computer shuts down, it will go to a recovery menu. I have to end up killing the machine.
Also when I try to hibernate the machine this error msg will appear: hibernate:Warning: Tuxonice binary signature file not found.
How should I rectify this error?
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
My Ubuntu file server sits under a desk and shares files with the network without a hitch, and in a perfect world I wouldn't ever need to shut it down (I reached 6 months uptime once). However, since it occasionally needs service, or additions and needs to be moved, I need to shut down.
The trouble is, the power management system is borked, so whenever I issue "sudo powerff now", the system halts, but the PSU stays on. I usually wait a few minutes after and flip the PSU switch, but I'm never sure if the system is already down.
Is there a way to reorder the way services shut down so that I put SSH last, and therefore know when the system is down when my session is disconnected? Is defaults.rc or whatever responsible for that?
When I shut down the computer, it does not remain shut down. This is different from "restarting" the computer because when I "shutdown" the computer powers down, the fan and disks stop spinning for a second, and then everything starts again. When I "restart" the fan and disks remain spinning throughout the restart process.Further, the computer is dual booting with Windows XP Pro. If I shut down from Windows, the system remains shut down.

Just installed Ubuntu 9.04 last night. All seems perfect except on shutddown. It seems to go through all shutdown processes but right about the time you expect the computer to turn off a message says: "system halted [4027.514883]" Have Googled it but no matches. If I just push the on/off button at that point it shuts off immediately

For some reason in the last few days I can no longer logout of KDE, nor will it let me shutdown the system. The only way out is to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and then shutdown from there. Weird thing is other users can. For me the logout box just disappears and I carry on working or if effects are enabled, the screen blurs and I carry on working. After this the logout box doesn't come back up until I have restarted X (logged out).
I have tried disabling the desktop effects to no availe and I have looked in the messages / kdm logs. So far the only thing I can find is in KDM.log
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Internal error: Could not resolve keysym XF86TouchpadOn
> Internal error: Could not resolve keysym XF86TouchpadOff
I have no idea if this is at all relevant but there are several threads from Google relating to this and GDM, although no cures as far as I can tell.
I would rather not delete my ~/.kde folder again if at all possible as it takes ages to reset everything back to normal.
I currently run kernel 2.6.34.7-66.fc13.i686 (sort of). When I select from the Gnome menu System -> Shutdown and select Shutdown from the dialog, my system only logs out, presenting me with the greeting screen. While this is a minor problem and I rarely shutdown my machine, it is mildly disconcerting.I have dropped back to 2.6.34.7-63.fc13.i686 and that shutdowns properly using this method. (Also, 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686 works properly). I can imagine that it might close some security issue in which an unauthorized user is able to halt the entire machine. Especially if this is something that will continue in future releases of the kernel.

View 2 Replies View RelatedTested on RedHat entreprise 5.5, 5.4, 5.3 I would like to stop my db (not oracle) when the system shutdown or reboot. I have wrote my script for init.d
Here is the head :
The problem is : shutdown -r stop the system before my K script execute. I have not my "blabla" in /tmp/mystop.log
In fact the scritp is for database startup and database shutdown manually it works I mean : /etc/init.d/mystop stop ; /etc/init.d/mystop start So I truncated the scritp until I only get echo "blabla"
This work idealy under HPUX, AIX, and I think I'm missing something "special" for Redhat. I'm quite sure it was ok with redhat 8 and ES 3.0.
Ok, this just started happening with ubuntu 9.10.
When it first happened, I didnt know what to do so i accessed all my data, backed it up in a diff partition, reformated my drives and reinstalled a clean 9.10. But now, every now and then (i think its when i use frostwire and have other programs running) my ubuntu keeps freezing up, it becomes non-responsive to anything i do, so i have to do a hard shutdown, after which, when i reboot, it is not able to mount /home, so i run FSCK and it fixes it, but ive done this about 3 times now, its starting to get a bit annoying, i dont know if anyone else has this problem, or if its a known bug. Here are my specs:
Running: Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 64 bit
3 Sata HDD: 1 TB, 750 GB, 350 GB
4GB Ram
2 Nvidia 7900GS
with a Pentium core 2 duo @ 3.0GHz
Just curious if it is possible to schedule a complete system shutdown and start up?
My box with ubuntu server on it is only used as an ssh/proxy server, so I would like save on energy costs and add a layer of security by completely shutting it down during the hours I do not use it.
First post here so I'll do my best to provide the information needed.

If I type as root, "reboot" or "shutdown -r now", nothing happenings - except the apache2 process stops + the usual "System is going down for reboot now". If I type "shutdown -h now" the system goes down.
Upon booting the server back up, MySQL starts correctly, but Apache2 does not - I have to run "service apache2 start", and it starts up fine.
I feel the 2 issues are related. I've reinstalled apache2 completely (configs and all) and this didn't help - I used yum to install/reinstall it.
