system hangs on shutdown

(1/2) > >>

rayon:
Hello again,

my system is now shutting down correctly. I did a fresh install of Linux Lite and now it's working.

I beg suppose it was because I installed and deinstalled some system drivers, because my WiFi was not working.

Anyway, thanks for your answer!

Hi rayon,

Your problem is different -- shutdown hangs on INSTALLED system.  Please start a brand new post -- will make it easier for people to find solutions if they happen to have same problem -- to keep solution on this thread separate from yours.  (I'm hoping ahead of time that we can solve your problem.)

Describe your problem again on the new post and also post specs on your hardware just in case that proves relevant.  Easiest way to post hardware specs is to install inxi program and run it  (open a terminal, run commands below).


--- Code: ---sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install inxi
inxi -Fxz
--- End code ---


Last command above runs inxi.  Just copy output of "inxi -Fxz" and paste it back here for us to see.  (See here for how to post terminal output between code blocks if you don't know how already.)

I'm sorry to start this topic again.

I just installed Linux Lite on a HP Pavillion Notebook and it does the same freezing during shutdown. The progress bar is going nearly to the end, but the system never shuts down (I waited half an hour!). Hitting the enter key is not helping.
The os is already fully installed, this is not just a problem about shutdown in a live system!
For your information:
This also happened while testing linux lite as a live system from a CD. I also thought it's just because booting from a CD, but same happened after full installation.

Hello!

Yeah, the graphic blocks what's going on the background during startup and shutdown. You can press the DOWN arrow key and it'll show you what's actually going on. In the background, you're probably being told to remove the disc and hit -ENTER-, but all that's being hidden by the graphic.

This won't be an issue once you install - then, it'll just shut off (or restart) on its own...

Hooray!  First question, first problem, first solution....

Sequence is that on shutdown, screen goes black, shows a few lines of wording about things shutting down, then the concentric circles appear (blue this time - with penguin-shaped black hole in centre and progress bar below it). Then CD pops out.

So I hit enter.  And voila, the shutdown completes and computer powers down.

Simples!  (when you know what to do....) .  Thanks, gold_finger.  If this is an example of how to deal with things, I think I may rapidly get to like Linux.
