Shutdown and reboot not working

vfbsilva · 2012-06-11 06:45:24

Folks after the last upgrade I can no longer shutdown nor reboot my machine. The command simply hangs and nothign happens. I've done some research and found https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=141155 this but that does not seems to be my issue. I'm clueless which logs can I provide you in order to diagnose what can be the problem? Important thing, I have only 1 session running and the system report going down still it never gets past the tty broadcast as it seems.

Ideas?

At least tell us what command you use to shutdown:
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop
sudo halt
sudo shutdown -h now
or what?

If this only started happening after your latest upgrade; it might also be usefull to check which packages were upgraded and try to narrow it down to one specific package.

Are you in the "power" group and "wheel", like the Beginner's Guide recommends?

$ groups

If you are, open a terminal and run:

$ sudo reboot
$ sudo poweroff

If you don't want it to ask for the password every time, you can edit your sudoers file:

root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
dspider ALL=(ALL) ALL

dspider ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/mount, /bin/umount
dspider arch=NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot, /sbin/poweroff

I'm doing shutdown -h now as root.

How can I check it?

I'm doing this as root. I can't reboot as root.

I'm doing this as root. I can't reboot as root.

Why? What does it say in the terminal or on tty1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1)?

$ pacman -Qo reboot poweroff
/sbin/reboot is owned by sysvinit 2.88-3
/sbin/poweroff is owned by sysvinit 2.88-3

Do you have the sysvinit package installed or are you using systemd? (in which case you should refer to the systemd wiki article)

Do you have the sysvinit package installed or are you using systemd? (in which case you should refer to the systemd wiki article)

I have sysvinit. Same output as yours for pacman -Qo reboot poweroff

The most obvious thing that jumps out would be the kernel update (3.3.7 -> 3.3.8). Perhaps try rolling back to kernel 3.3.7 and see if you're able to reboot/shutdown properly again.

PS: this is just a way of troubleshooting the issue. Downgrading packages is never a final solution as far as I'm concerned. Should this solve the issue for you, consider posting a bug report for it to get the search for an actual structural fix going.

Cerbereus · 2012-06-11 12:14:17

Well looks like i m not the only one, having this problem happen the same to I cannot shutdown or reboot as root user from terminal, it's weird just a few one happen this. Or even as regular user i can' t shutdown my system. So vbfsilva you are not alone in this problem

Well looks like i m not the only one, having this problem happen the same to I cannot shutdown or reboot as root user from terminal, it's weird just a few one happen this. Or even as regular user i can' t shutdown my system. So vbfsilva you are not alone in this problem

Great now we have a pattern. Did you update packages yesterday by any chance? Also folks is there a procedure I can take to revert my kernel to the old one? Problem is that many things as nvidia might break so how can I roll it smootly?

Yes i update from yesterday but i think also this issue started since Saturday. I update twice thinking that will be a fix but i got this issue since i use the manual intervention for filesystem required i present this problem. At begin I thought was failure hardware problem but then I notice happen this the next time :s .

Could you please paste the output of the logs generated by your upgrade? So we can check it against mine and maybe pinpoint what is the problem.

Do you guys have any nfs drives mounted via fstab? I sometimes get hanging shutting down if I don't manually umount my nfs drives first.

If that is the case, you should run the netfs daemon in your DAEMONS array. Put @netfs in there because netfs implements the clean unmount of nfs shares on shutdown

I m not using a nfs drives but i will try anyway that option in my daemons array. I let you know when i tried at home.
Cheers.

I don't have ntfs drivers running, should i check lsof to see if something is hanging on my system?

Thanks for the tip, but netfs is already in my daemons array on both Arch machines that have the issue.

If you don't use NFS shares, you don't need @netfs daemon. Don't start daemons just for the heck of it.

I hope that was a typo because ntfs != netfs, just so we are clear.

It was a typo, but anyway I don't have it. Should I add it? I'm still out of ideas. Anyone has an insight?

Sure. Create a new user, log out, and then try "sudo reboot" from this account.

$ sudo useradd -m -g users -G audio,video,storage,wheel,power -s /bin/bash testusername

Still this makes no sense as I'm trying reboot as root hence those group setting should not matter. Oki so I will add nfs to daemons array right? Still I would need a hard reboot or could an init 1 do the trick?

Another problem that I'vew forgotten to report is that my USB external disk is taking some time to be mounted and recognized after you suggesting nfs could be the problem .

Tonight I will post the log from my last boot.

Regards,
Victor

so when you issue a command

shutdown -h now

what happens ?

you said the "command hangs and nothing happens", but is the computer otherwise usable? If so, check dmesg and Xorg logs to see what happens immediately after issuing that command.

It was 3 am when I decided it was time to sleep. By hanging I mean nothign happens, the system still works, I can spawn new processes in other tty's. Still KDE reports the shutdown commands. I think xorg is unrelated to the problem as I could not shutdown as root in tty whitout an Xsession spawned. Oki so for now I own you:
* dmesg output
*boot logs

Anything else that could help?
