[SOLVED] cannot shutdown or reboot

when trying to shutdown or reboot, the process stops withe message:

...
remounting filesystem read-only
shut down

I then have to switch off the computer manually with the power button. This is new from today on and I don't like it! What can I do?

Re: [SOLVED] cannot shutdown or reboot

You can try a couple of things -
1) Install APM - "pacman -S apmd". If this doesn't help, try (2)
2) Add the string "acpi=force" for the arch linux menu entry in grub

For (2), you need to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst (or /boot/grub/grub.cfg for Grub2).. Find the entry for Arch linux.. And in the line that starts with "kernel /boot/vmlinuz", add the "acpi=force" string at the end of this line. Save the file and reboot.

Re: [SOLVED] cannot shutdown or reboot

apm seems notto be in arch packgages.. it's in the aur, but won't compile on my laptop. The second option didn't work as well..
Also I'm pretty sure acpi is up and running. I get battery status, fan speeds and so on. This problem ist new from today on, no kernel-update. I think the only thing I updated is libtool but I don't see a connection so fare..

Anyway, thanks for your help! More ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] cannot shutdown or reboot

I found whats causing the problem. It's wicd! I switched today from networkmanager to wicd because the plasma frontend to networkmanager doesn't work for me at the moment. If I remove wicd form rc.conf sutdown and reboot work normal.. I guess I just push the button till networkmanager is working again! Thanks everybody!

Re: [SOLVED] cannot shutdown or reboot

after all it turn out, that the order or statting deamons was the critical point. I can only shut down normal, starting hal after wicd- but in that case wicd is nor working correctly..
