Shutdown Hangs on Installed System (V2.0-32 bit) - then70 - 07-24-2014 I installed V2 on a HP Pavilion ze4610US laptop (768 megs of ram & 40 Gig HD). The lappy runs pretty well. However, the unit will not shut down properly. I get circles of green and red on a black background with an indicator bar near the middle of the screen. I can see movement on the bar, but after going about 20% of the way across--it hangs. I tried pressing the enter key multiple times, but nothing. The only way to shut down the computer is to hold the power button down until the screen goes black. When I click restart instead of shutdown, I get a black screen with Gray and white outline of a small feather or multicolored circles that looks like a bulls-eye and the progress bar stops at 20-25%. When pressing the down arrow key, these messages appear on the screen: Quote: wait-for-state stop/waiting After the bracketed number above there were 3 or 4 other words, but since the screen blacked out I couldn't get them. But computer still had not shut down. All the lights were still lit. I have tried the above several times and it doesn't have the same message every time. It is always a little different. But the machine never shuts down or reboots. The MD5SUM of the downloaded iso is correct and I verified the CD burn against the downloaded iso file. I have used the same CD to load 2 other laptops and a desktop machine with no problems. Following the instructions on another post, here is the output of "inxi -Fxz" from the Terminal: Code: xxxxx@xxxxx-Pavilion-ze4610:~$ inxi -Fxz Any help with this problem is greatly appreciated. Re: Shutdown Hangs on Installed System (V2.0-32 bit) - Dookus - 07-24-2014 The HP laptop I'm writing this from did similar, went away after the first time I ran the updates. Re: Shutdown Hangs on Installed System (V2.0-32 bit) - gold_finger - 07-24-2014 then70, If you haven't already done so, go ahead an install system updates as suggested by Dookus. Then shutdown and restart twice. (If first shutdown still hangs, then there might be slim possibility that an update needed one restart before it took effect. If still hangs at second shutdown, then missing updates were not the problem.) After searching a bit, found posts similar to this: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=167508#p861471. I have no idea whether this will solve your problem or not, but it's worth a try. Steps to try are outlined below. Open terminal and make a backup copy of grub file you will change in later step Code: sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak Now open the grub file in the leafpad text editor as root so you can make changes to it Code: gksu leafpad /etc/default/grub In the opened file, add "radeon.dpm=0" to the end of the line starting with "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT". For example, in mine the line looks like this: Code: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" I would keep the "quiet splash" and add the above to end up with: Code: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.dpm=0" Save the file, close leafpad and you will be back at the terminal prompt. In terminal run Code: sudo update-grub Now close terminal and try shutting down. Shutdown a second time if problem persists on first try. If problem persists on second shutdown attempt, then above didn't work. Reverse what you did as follows: Rename the new grub you made Code: sudo mv /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bad Restore the backup copy of grub to get the original back. Code: sudo cp /etc/default/grub.bak /etc/default/grub Update grub again Code: sudo update-grub When you post back here, give us output showing the changes you made that did not work -- just so we can double-check it. (Most likely we won't find anything wrong, but who knows?) Just paste output of Code: cat /etc/default/grub.bad Re: Shutdown Hangs on Installed System (V2.0-32 bit) - then70 - 07-25-2014 Unfortunately, these steps did not solve the problem. I had updated the system before I my original post, but did it again. Rebooted twice. Still hung. Followed the detailed instructions (thanks for making them easy to understand), but still didn't fix the issue. Here is the output from the grub.bad file: Code: # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update Thanks again for your help. Re: Shutdown Hangs on Installed System (V2.0-32 bit) - gold_finger - 07-25-2014 Sorry that didn't work. Found another post here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Fixing_reboot.2BAC8-shutdown_freezes. Basically, try doing exact same steps as before but change line to: Code: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash reboot=bios" If that doesn't work, try again with: Code: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash reboot=pci" Don't forget to update-grub after each time you change that file and reboot twice just in case it doesn't take effect immediately. If none of the above work, try shutting down with terminal command and see if any lines in the output give a clue as to where shutdown procedure gets stuck. If anything shows in terminal, copy last few lines of output and post back with them. Here is terminal command to shutdown: Code: sudo shutdown -h now Re: Shutdown Hangs on Installed System (V2.0-32 bit) - then70 - 07-26-2014 gold_finger, Thank you again, but still no luck--at least not yet. I read the post mentioned in Reply #4 of this thread, but neither suggestion worked for me. Then I used the terminal command to shut the computer down: Code: sudo shutdown -h now Nothing showed up on the terminal at all. It went right into the concentric circles and hung. So, I tried again and this time, the entire screen went black and the following text appeared: Code: wait-for-state stop/waiting After 15 minutes of hanging, I used the power button to shut the computer off. Hopefully, there is something in the output I posted that will help figure this out. I remain clueless. Re: Shutdown Hangs on Installed System (V2.0-32 bit) - gold_finger - 07-26-2014 I'm as clueless as you on this. Put "nm-dispatcher.action: Could not get the system bus" into search engine and found this page. Basically it is saying to try same procedure again so you end up with: Code: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force" Might as well give it a try. Keeping my fingers crossed over here because I'm pretty much out of ideas. Re: Shutdown Hangs on Installed System (V2.0-32 bit) - TuxInAGalaxy - 11-28-2015 I don't have a solution for the OP but I have an interesting problem to add to this conversation. About 2 years ago, I decided to try ubuntu 12.04 on one of my desktop computers. It's a dual core intel machine 4 gigs of ram and intel graphics. The computer is about 8 years old now. It always turns off in Windows Vista but under the distro's I tried on it (Ubuntu, LXLE, and Manjaro) it doesn't always shut down. Sometimes it shuts down really fast, and other times it just hangs. The other day I decided to try Linux Lite 2.4 32 bit (This machine can run 64 bit but I decided to try the 32 bit just in case it makes a difference) At first Linux LIte shut down perfectly. But I haven't used the Linux Lite hard drive for several months. Today I logged in and started working with it. When I needed to shut down the machine, I noticed it won't shut down. Just Hangs. |
