I’ve had two server oses here: alma linux and debian(currently). On both of them, they will hang when I shut them down from cockpit, and they hang at the end of the shutdown.
Also, it takes an hour to a day to have this issue start. if it’s restarted two times in a row quickly, it works perfectly fine for some reason.
What I’ve tried:
- setting “acpi=off” and “acpi=force” kernel parameters in grub
- removing my nvidia gpu(i was using nouveau drivers)
- changing distros
nothing worked. here are some things that both distros had in common with eachother:
- systemd
- cockpit
- libvirt & qemu
- docker
does anyone have advice? nothing i’ve seen online has worked. thank you for suggestions
halt -p
thanks for the suggestion, could you elaborate on what this would do differently from the regular shutdown command that systemctl uses? thanks again
My understanding is that ‘halt’ had been an alias for ‘halt -p’, but that changed recently. -p tells the command to power off. Without it, it just shuts down process.
halt -pdid nothing different. still hung on shutdown.
