Re: Cannot complete shutdown [Solved]

Have 3.4-x86-64-base with latest upgrades.  Have tried sudo shutdown -h 0, wm-logout, lxsession-logout and some others.  Latest wm-logout is installed.  System goes down to a suspended state where the screen is a light blue and everything but the keyboard is frozen.  I am left with doing a hard kill, or rebooting with alt+PrtSc+R+E+I+S+U+B.  What can I do to regain a normal shutdown?

Type in terminal:

    sudo -i (to get a root shell, sudo gedit is not recommended)

    gedit /etc/default/grub

    Find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

    Change this to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force"


    Save the file and close the file.

    Finally, in terminal: update-grub

    exit (to end the root shell)

Have you upgraded all packages to the newest version?
Systemd 215 is in testing repo now and the system shut down very quick now.

A little bit off topic but it does indeed  ;D

You right :)
Try:
sudo halt
or
sudo poweroff

Thank you pavroo and way12go.  I had systemd215-5+b1 installed.  However, editing grub as way12go suggested has apparently forced lxsession-logout,  wm-logout, sudo poweroff, sudo shutdown -h 0 to do complete shutdowns.

i have the same problem, and tried same solution, however when i type
gedit /etc/default/grub

in the terminal it says
-bash: gedit: command not found

what shld i do ?

If you don't have gedit installed, you can run it.
Use other text editor you have, for example: leafpad, nano, mousepad, etc.

thank you, did figure that out, and used leafpad instead of gedit

however, thereafter on rebooting , i got something about grub not reading highlighted text or something. i guess that is because a did a copy/paste of 1waytogo post, and i should have rather just typed it in ?

Show your present /etc/default/grub file.
