not found SHUTDOWN - POWEROFF - Halt[SOLVED]

[Thiago]

Hello,

I needed help!

I installed Debian 10, GNOME, by DVD media, well I found some difficulties, where it does not find basic command to shut down or reboot (shutdown, poweroff, halt), I was wanting to use package commands (net-tools), I I know this package has not been in Debian since previous versions, the earlier it was possible to download, but now it cannot download too (apt install net-tools).

Could you tell me what it could be?

And what about

Code: Select all

systemctl poweroff

?

I don't know anything about Gnome, but net-tools is in the repo so something is wrong with your packaging setup if you can't install it with

Code: Select all

apt install net-tools

https://packages.debian.org/buster/net-tools

And how do you "know" this if you have used Debian before?

I have 3 machines with Debian installed 1 Stretch and 2 Buster and that package is installed in all 3.

Did you possibly not give apt root access? If you don't it isn't going to install anything.

Those other 3 commands also need root access or they will say command not found.

E485:~$

I think you need polkit to use them though.

Why don't you just use the graphical logout application provided by GNOME? Or the power button, which is what I use.

Yes the problem is with gnome(year of linux desktop). try another DE. Or ruwolf's suggestion.

systemctl poweroff

Hello,

This was the only command that worked, I had already tested.
however only the poweroff command does not work.

All power on/off operations are managed by systemd.
/sbin/poweroff is same as 'systemctl poweroff'

Code: Select all

ls -l1 /sbin/halt  /sbin/poweroff /sbin/reboot /sbin/shutdown   
           
 /sbin/halt -> /bin/systemctl
 /sbin/poweroff -> /bin/systemctl
 /sbin/reboot -> /bin/systemctl
 /sbin/shutdown -> /bin/systemctl

Hello sunrat,
My area is network, so I am looking for this package, referring to other versions, yes already used other versions of Debian, which is not installed anymore I had no problem to install, and it is not news that this package is no longer kept entered as deprecated, and hasn't been updated for some time, and he has replacement however I like his commands.

Yes, not only other versions of Debian, but other Distro.

As you can see from the previous answer, I am root.

Hello Head_on_a_Stick

I use virtual machines in production environment and terminal only access and these commands are essential for maintenance, in the case of this Debian 10 I installed to test and see what's new before using it in production.

root @ debian10: / home / thiago # which poweroff
root @ debian10: / home / thiago #

Hello sickpig
I'm sorry but I did not quite understand your answer, you said the problem is related to GNOME, ie should I use another graphic interface or not use it?

[Thiago]

/sbin/poweroff is same as 'systemctl poweroff'

ls -l1 /sbin/halt  /sbin/poweroff /sbin/reboot /sbin/shutdown
