[SOLVED] System freezes on reboot

[one23]

Hello,

I have freshly installed Sparky Linux MinimalCLI 7.3 with up to date system and running on 6.1.0-21-amd64 kernel.

The trouble is that for some reason every time I reboot system with sudo reboot it freezes on reboot. The last message I can see says something about ethernet link being down. I must power off machine twice as the first time I get only blinking cursor.

Which logs would show what is happening during reboot?

Thanks in advance.

I don't have a lot of experience searching through logs, but if the problem involves anything in the part of the boot that systemd controls, then I think the command-line utility 'journalctl' could be useful for you. If you're not familiar with it, you can run

man journalctlto read the man pages and decide how to best use it for your issue. The command-line utility 'dmesg' may also have some helpful info. Some other questions / comments that might help you move forward on this:

1. When you say it freezes on reboot, does it freeze during the part when it is shutting the system down or when it is bringing it back up? If it is when it is bringing it back up, then you could check / adjust your BIOS settings and/or boot-loader (eg. grub) kernel parameters to have the system show as much data as possible when booting.

2. Have you tried rebooting it in other ways? If so, do you get the same result, or something different?

3. Do you have another (different make/model) PC on which you can replicate this same problem?

4. Does another Linux distro or different Sparky version on this PC show the same problem?

5. Are you connected to the internet when this happens? If so, what type of connection is it? Do you have more than one way to connect to the internet? If so, have you tried switching to that to see if the problem persists? Have you tried disconnecting from the internet to see if the problem persists?

6. When you're looking for help on this or other similar forums, it would be good for you to provide as much relevant information as possible. You can use the command-line tool 'inxi' and its various options to generate general / specific / relevant information about your system that you can then copy from the terminal (Shift + Ctrl + C) and paste into your post here using the code markers for easier readability. (Hover over the icons above where you're writing till you see the one marked 'Code', click on that and it should give you code markers like this: "code""/code" except with bracket markers in place of the quote markers. Then just paste the inxi output from the terminal between the code markers so it will show up correctly [you can use the preview option to check it's working as expected].) The 'inxi' tool has lots of different options -- here is just one example:

inxi -Frz(The '-F' option includes basic information for quite a few parts of your system, the '-r' option provides details on your repos, and the '-z' option filters out some things for privacy / security, which is probably a good idea when posting in public spaces like this forum.)

I tried command shutdown now with same results. System freezes and never shuts down.

UPDATE:

It turns out that powered USB hub was causing system to never reboot or shutdown. I suspect it's not powering down and keeps feeding current to the laptop.
I connected different one and everything is working fine.

Hey, one23, glad you were able to figure it out. :-)

If you could do one more thing and add '[Solved]' to the beginning or end of this thread's title, that would be helpful for anyone else searching these forums for a solution to the same problem. If you don't know how to do that, see this post (https://forum.sparkylinux.org/index.php/topic,4239.msg17825.html#new). Basically, you just edit the first post in the thread; to do that, go to the bottom right of the post and it looks like you can use either 'Quick Edit' or 'More...'-'Modify' to get to a page where you can make the change and save it, etc.

Hey, @one23, would you mind posting the make / model of the powered USB hub that caused this problem, as well as the one that is working OK for you? I will probably buy one in the near future, so this information would be helpful in trying to avoid the problem you encountered, and others may find it useful as well. Thanks in advance, ---Dustin

[one23]

Not at all.

The one causing problems I bought on eBay and according to seller the model is LUPO S-UH-0210. Logs on Sparky never showed any model number and HWiNFO on Windows reports it as generic USB device.

The USB hub that works is Atolla and model number is QF-UD50 (I bought it on Amazon). Strangely this one didn't work well with Orange Pi board (one of the WD hard drives was disconnecting) but works perfect with Acer.
