[Solved] Unable to poweroff/reboot

#1 Post by N3mesis98 »

Hello all,

I've recently installed a fresh Debian 8 RC1 on my computer, and I'm unable to make a clean poweroff/reboot of my computer.
I've tried to close my system properly using those commands :

Code: Select all

poweroff
poweroff -f
poweroff -i
But each time, my computer get stuck after displaying

Code: Select all

[Ok] Reached target shutdown
From here, I have no other choice than to use the power button to shutdown my computer.

Here is the result of a lspci :

Have you tried:

Code: Select all

systemctl poweroff --force
Do you have any attached devices?

Yes, I've already tried to use a

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl poweroff --force
but the result is the same.

And no, there is no attached device.

i have the same problem with my dell laptop and i have spent too much time without finding a solution...
first of all do this https://wiki.debian.org/systemd#Debugging and follow this too http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging/
read logs (dmesg,syslog) and the post back...
does it happen **every** time you try to shutdown/reboot? or occasionally?
Οh and a lame crab walks straight

Problem solved.

I've executed the "sudo systemctl poweroff --force" command one time in a tty instead of a terminal emulator, and my computer did shutdown properly.
Now a simple poweroff do the job.

Thank you for your help !
