Arch Hangs During Shutdown
Hi,
may seem like a duplicate issue. The problem is that when I issue 'sudo halt' command. The computer does everything necessary to perform a clean shutdown but after the programmatic shutdown is done, the HW shutdown is not performed at all. Fans still rotating, diodes still shining.
I thought that it is a problem of my hardware, but then I just out of curiosity tried to create a bootable flash drive with Arch 2021.05.01 and was suprised that when this installation is booted and 'halt' command is issued, the exactly same thing happens. I have tried 3 computers all of them a different: one 6th gen Intel, one Ryzen Laptop with 4800 HS one Ryzen desktop with 4750GE processor. They all hang after clean boot, after software shutdown is performed (just wait for the command prompt and issue halt command). I am sure that if I install some more programs/packages later, the problem is gone - because both my laptop and desktop are Arch-based, and the hanging is not reproducible on them. Can someone point me to what is the proper package to install so that the computer really shuts down? Because I want to keep the Intel machine as minimalistic as possible (running as a server) and that machine does hang when shutting down.
Thank you!

Re: Arch Hangs During Shutdown
Nothing is wrong, that's what's meant to happen....
Note that on many SysV systems halt used to be synonymous to poweroff, i.e. both commands would equally result in powering the machine off. systemd is more accurate here, and halt results in halting the machine only (leaving power on), and poweroff is required to actually power it off.
