A quick search-

Try pci=noacpi for grub edit.

Make sure acpid is installed. Good luck.

fyfy,

Same old problem for me.
None of the solutions suggested so far in those threads worked for me.

In order to avoid having to press the "Off" button of my computer (which is never good) or to avoid having to open a terminal and type "poweroff" (which otherwise works fine) each time I want to shut down my machine, here is what I did as a temporary fix:

Right click on the desktop, select "Create launcher" in the windows which opens, then "Application in terminal", then give it whatever "Name" you wish, then in "Command", type "poweroff". This will create an icon on your desktop, which will shut down your system in a clean way when you click on it.

any solution has been invented or not till now?

[Hobashira]

fyny, to my knowledge, no bug fix exists yet.

Probable causes: Compiz? The latest kmod-nvidia driver? The kernel?

Have you tried what I suggested above to shut down your system?

[Judy]

I've had this same problem for about the last week or two . Fedora kills everything, but the computer will not close at all. I have to admit that I do the 'dirty' close - just hit the button until it turns off. :(

[Hobashira]

Elide, have you tried "poweroff" from a terminal?

[Judy]

Yes, Hobashira. I just tried that. It just seems to close down faster than normal, but still the computer runs on and I have to do the 'dirty' shut down. :confused:

Other shutdown commands.

/sbin/shutdown now -h
/sbin/shutdown -g0 -h
/sbin/init 0

I was just guessing with 'init 0', but it shut my computer right down.
The '-g0' (gee-zero) in 'shutdown -g0 -h' is the old unix style, but still works and I like it.


You do, of course, have dbus and hal running, if you want shutdown from gui menu.ps -e | egrep "dbus|hal"should show at least 1 of hald and at least one of dbus.

I had the "no shutdown" with FC6 and F7 on one of my older computers and the fix for me and others at the time was to use "acpi=force" and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst so that your "kernel" lines read like this:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.XX-XXXX acpi=force ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet

This fix was Originally Posted by Jack Malmostoso "If you put the argument at the end of the file, it won't do anything, cause it won't be parsed correctly" . Try it just may work for you too.

[Hobashira]

ryptyde,

I know about this fix by Jack Malmostoso but "acpi=force" does not do it for me, whether in the middle of "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.XX-XXXX ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet" or at the end!

Maybe I am just part of the unlucky few...

Always worth a try but sorry it didn't work. I've had a couple of new issues to resolve since the latest kernel update. The price to pay when living on the edge.

hey friends,
same issue, as soon as i press the restart button or even the logoff button, the system gets halted with those fedora 7 baloons on the wallpaper. I simply can't do anything, no keyboard key works. And im forced to press the power button on the machine which is never good.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bilalwahla]

And also it would be great to know what the exact issue is. What makes this happen?

Using the xen kernel will make it hang on shutdown too. I went back to the standard kernel and haven't had the problem since..

[fyny]

any another idea?

[Hobashira]

fyny, are you using Gnome and Compiz?
Since I switched to Beryl, I can shut down from Gnome without any problem.
It seems Compiz was the culprit.

[swappa]

Got the same thing with Compiz enabled. If I disable Compiz the shutdown works fine.

[Hobashira]

If you still want to have some sort of "effects" enabled, have you tried Beryl instead of Compiz?
As I said above, with Beryl, my shutdown problem disappeared.

[ibbo]

I resolved this issue (getting out of X etc) by disabling the kmod-nvidia driver and enabling the one that comes from the repos.

Everything now works fine save desktop effects.

Ibbo

[Hobashira]

ibbo, what do you mean by "the one coming from the repos"? Which repo is that?

[sej7278]

is compiz-fusion official yet? how else do we install beryl? i don't want to use a non- livna/redhat repo.

does the new nvidia driver fix the shutdown/desktop effects issue or is it a compiz issue?

How far in the shutdown process do you come. I have a semilar problem. X is turned off and last message is something like "System Halted", but power never goes off. When pressing my Off button for 6 second a few more lines are written before it finally goes off.

I thought it was related to a little hack I made in the PSU, but if your experiences are the same it might be a SW or configuration problem
