Re: Shutdown and reboot not working

Good catch, I removed the file (kids, save it somewhere, don't delete it like this) /etc/udev/rules.d/11-mnt-auto-mount.rules, it fixed the problem for me as well.
Now, what would be the best alternative to automount USB devices ? (as in "works automagically" and not as in "install tons of stuffs")

Re: Shutdown and reboot not working

It works for me, thanks arti!

Reporting success also here for now also looking for an alternative for the automounts.

Also here too, now i can shutdown, restart and also boot faster as before with the new kernel thanks arti74.

I removed only  the rules file and it works!, thanks a lot.
kernel: 3.4.3-1

Good catch, I removed the file (kids, save it somewhere, don't delete it like this) /etc/udev/rules.d/11-mnt-auto-mount.rules, it fixed the problem for me as well.

So my suggestion worked here. I'm glad I could help not only for myself Maybe it's time to mark the topic as solved?

Now with regard to automount USB devices:

Good. udev was not the best way to auto-mount anyway. Use udisks and a helper like devmon/udiskie/udisksvm for your auto-mounting needs

And this is the proper way. Thanks Inxsible.
What works in my LXDE is udisk with newest devmon (included in package udevil-git). Sometimes only I need to put my user password while unmounting. I thing the solution may be somewhere in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks2.policy file..(?) User is already in storage and wheel groups.

Re: Shutdown and reboot not working

You might have that file in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d.

Re: Shutdown and reboot not working

Still I haven't this file, but finally I solved. Months ago I removed my floppy reader from my pc, but carelessly I kept the relative item in my BIOS. Removing this now I can shutdown and reboot again. I thinks this error also was due to udev...
