[SOLVED] 5.2.6 and 5.2.5 - no shutdown

rado84 · 2019-08-08 16:42:53

Until kernel 5.2.4 I was using a grub command to ensure the system will shutdown: "acpi=force". However, ever since 5.2.5 kernel was released, it seems that the kernel doesn't care about this command and it won't shutdown the computer. It simply stays at "reached target reboot" or "reached target shutdown" (the last word changes sometimes) and that's it - no actual shutdown, the fans continue working. So in order to actually shut it down, I have to use the PSU switch.
Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?

Has the system always required acpi=force to shutdown? Does the removing the option have any effect with 5.2.5?
Would you be willing to bisect between linux 5.2.4 and 5.2.5 to find which commit caused the change in behavior?

Yes, before 5.2.5 acpi=force was mandatory, otherwise the system would just hang and would never shutdown.
And if by bisect you mean to downgrade the kernel to 5.2.4 and 5.2.5, I can try.

Please try downgrading to 5.2.4 first and check that the issue is no longer present.

The following assumes the base-devel group and git are installed and I recomend enabling Makepkg#Parallel_compilation to reduce build times

$ git clone git://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git --single-branch --branch "packages/linux"
$ cd packages/trunk
$ git checkout 4182d22f4542645deff8d25fd8c1c25ae78309f1 #5.2.4.arch1-1
$ cd ../..
$ cp -r packages/trunk linux-git
$ rm -rf packages
$ cd linux-git
# Edit replace the PKGBUILD and 90-linux.hook with the ones below
$ makepkg -rsi #This is to confirm 5.2.4 as built on your system does not have the issue.  Update bootloader for new kernel if needed

$ cd linux-git/src/linux
$ git checkout v5.2.5
$ cd ../..
$ makepkg -ersi #This is to confirm 5.2.5 as built on your system does have the issue select the default option for all prompted options.  If 5.2.5 works stop here.

$ cd linux-git/src/linux/
$ git bisect start
$ git bisect good v5.2.4
$ git bisect bad v5.2.5
$ cd ../..
$ makepkg -ersif

$ cd linux-git/src/linux/
$ git bisect $result #Substitue good or bad here
$ cd ../..
$ makepkg -ersif #Repeat these four lines and test the generated kernel until git has found the bad commit

I just noticed there was an update to the kernel, so I decided to try with updating it to 5.2.7 and now the computer shuts down normally, as it did with 5.2.4.
As for your suggested solution, when I used
$ git clone git://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git --single-branch --branch "packages/linux"
the terminal returned a bunch of errors one of which was something similar to "git inaccessible", so I gave up. I downloaded the downgrade package and after using "$ downgrade linux", I noticed there was a 5.2.7 version. So I updated the kernel to it, tried a shut down and it worked.
