Can't reboot or shutdown

Recently, (the last few weeks) I haven't been able to shutdown or
reboot my desktop or laptop machines, both running Arch. It seems
to start the shutdown process but eventually just hangs. I've let
it sit there for over an hour and it never finishes... Here's a
snippet from my journalctl log from a recent failed reboot:

It looks to me like there's a crash in Xorg?? And possibly
something bad going on with rpcbind?
Is this a known issue? It's interesting that it has only recently
started happening to me, and on two totally unrelated
machines (one work machine and one home machine).
If this isn't a known issue, any tips on further steps I can take
for debugging?
Thanks!

It looks to me like there's a crash in Xorg?? And possibly
something bad going on with rpcbind?
Is this a known issue? It's interesting that it has only recently
started happening to me, and on two totally unrelated
machines (one work machine and one home machine).
If this isn't a known issue, any tips on further steps I can take
for debugging?
Thanks!
Im honestly not sure and havent had this issue, but I can give you some troubleshooting ideas. You havent given us much to go on as to what level of troubleshooting youve already done, so Ill offer the basics.
First, start disabling non-essential services with systemd (by disable I mean not stop but DISABLE where next boot these services wont be loaded). I would start by trying to disable as many of YOUR services (that is, ones that you use on all the machines that are having issues that arent vital for Arch to boot). Reboot (it will hang the first time since the service thats hanging on reboot will likely still hang), and then try to reboot again. If this fixes the reboot issue, enable (or perhaps just start them) half of the ones you disabled, and see if the problem comes back. Just run:
systemctl
as root to get a list of units/services.
If nothing with services seems to fix it, I would start looking at modules. Sometimes people require certain modules to be blacklisted in order for things like rebooting to work (admittedly it seems to me this was more an issue when distros used init as opposed to systemd, but I could be wrong- maybe its just a testament to Linus and Co and their work on the kernel). It would be impossible for me to help you here as you have not given us any data on what your systems are, lsmod/lspci printouts, or any other information. If this is basic stuff youve tried, or if you try it now, let us know how it goes and we might be able to help you...

How to run a script automatically just before Reboot or Shutdown

Hello all,
Could someone tell me what folder or what entries to be made if I want an event to take place before the machine actually start the reboot/shutdown process. For instants, i usually mount my USB flash drive but sometime I forget to umount it, which will cause a dirty file system when restarting the machine. Would anyone have an example to get me going. It's just like when rc.conf will do added things for you during start-up if special code/script was inserted.
There are other things I like to do before the machine reboot or shutdown, like, to run a very small scripts to automatically kill a certain process "first", before the rest and before rebooting. I'm sure I can write the code but I don't know where it goes.
Thanks in advance
PS: Thanks fsckd, Your explanation of SKIP/SEEK for dd has never been explained so well in any documentation, or on ANY web-site I ever been to in 6 months pass. Now I know how it really works and i'm getting it down to a science. I did not use it for what my thread indicate because in the end the other suggestions were better, but still I Thank God I finally know how to use SKIP/SEEK in dd. dd is my most use tool for what I do.

There something new every day to learn with this OS. Just when you get one thing right here's comes another. I guest it took 20 years to build LINUX and I read the kernel has something like 10 - 30 million lines of code or better. Some how I lost the better link that went much deeper. 30 million lines of code mean billions of documentation to read. But you still got to find the right one first. So I guest we read and still have to ask questions just to get to the good parts, and than ...

Arch should already automatically unmount your USB drive. If it isn't unmounted, that's a bug and ought to be filed at http://bugs.archlinux.org

Hang when reboot or shutdown

Hi
I'm just install arch linux it's work fine, until reboot or shutdown, it's hang after text "storage is finalized." as picture.

Thanks.

Hi, every body.:)
After I change my hardware(same model), I try to follow the web carefully.
Please read my step and tell my mistake. If you see it.
1. This picture is boot from CD, It's not have "Boot Arch Linux x86_64 " menu because my motherboard not have UEFI firmware, right or not? pleae tell me.
1. Using fdisk to create MBR partitions. It's have 2 partitions. No swap partition.
2. mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 and 2

661FM2-LSR cannot reboot, only shutdown.

I have buy this mother board, 661FM-LSR (601-7060-020), for make a small linux server. But there is a problem.
I have setup Linux, but when i do "reboot" or "shutdown -r now" the system not reboot, free on "restarting system". Shutdown work correctly.
I have try many distro, and many kernel, but without any result. The BIOS is the latest. I think the problem is the APIC, but if i disable it in the bios the result is the same.
What can i do?
Thanks

I have test with power management on and off in BIOS and in Linux
but the problem persists.

Hacker problems so I reloaded Snow Leopard. Afterwards, Mac had to delete 798 items. Now looping on 4 items to delete for the past 2 weeks. Can't reboot, reload, or restart. I have to let the battery run down for it to turn off. How to fix this, please?

I had hacker problems so I reloaded Snow Leopard. Afterwards, Mac had to delete 798 items. Now it is looping on 4 items to delete for the past 2 weeks. I can't reboot, reload, or restart. I have to let the battery run down for it to turn off. I think a big part of the problem is that someon one the internet (the hacker) was mirroring my hard drive. It seems to have locked up my system. I could be wrong about this guess, though. All I do know is that it is now looping on the last 4 iems, and I can't do anything.
Well, I can get it to turn on, but all it does is continously try to delete the last 4 items. When I try to reload Snow Leopard, it tells me my hard drive is full and that I need to delete items.
Can anyone help? I am so lost without my Mac. I am back on the PC, and though it works, I'm sure many of you will understand when I say it's just not a Mac.
Thanks.

I installed Snow Leopard using my Apple external Superdrive. I followed directions I found on the Apple site. Here is the article info: Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install
                 Article HT3910
                 located at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3910
Everything was going smoothly until I got to the reinstall part. I had to choose to reinstall on a hard drive or network drive. I've never used a network drive; just the hard drive. It seems that's where the troubles began. I selected the hard drive. It seemed to go well, and then I got the message that I needed to delete some files because I was out of space. I chose to get rid of my music files, but, there were only 636. I don't know what the rest of the files were. I was using the Secure Empty Trash command.
That was my first time doing an erase and install. I tried to do it again, but I now get a continuous error telling me that my hard drive is full and I must delete files. Only I can't delete files because 4 files are still being deleted and my computer won't let me stop the process.
I found out about the hackers mostly by the fact that whenever I used to watch something like Hulu or Netflix, I never had problems with internet connection or speed. Lately, I had internet connection problems. I went in to check my settings for my internet provider and found out the settings had been changed to public and all these extra computers were connected to my network.

Blue Screen + Spotlight error message... I can't reboot!

Hi All,
Upon startup, iMac with 2+GB RAM running OS X 10.5.6 does the following:
1. Normal startup chime
2. Blue screen appears
3. Spotlight error message "Spotlight quit unexpectedly"
I can't reboot, or boot in Safe Mode or launch Disk Utility from DVD and obviously I can't reinstall Leopard
I'm really frustrated

If you're really holding down those keys immediately after pressing the power button, yet they don't behave as expected, you may have some sort of hardware problem.
Do you have access to another keyboard that you could try?
How is that keyboard connected to your iMac? Your iMac probably has three USB ports. I'd try the keyboard in each of them in turn.

I need to wipe my computer can i reboot from the app store

Hi,
I need to wipe my computer iMac 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo and start fresh. How do I reboot? Can I reboot from the App Store (Mavericks)?
Any help would be appreciated

You would reboot from the recovery partition. Hold cmd-R as you reboot (hold the keys down when the screen goes black and keep them held until you see the Apple logo). From there, run Disk Utility to wipe the drive, and follow the "Install OS X" prompts to reinstall the system.

HT1430 How can you reboot your Touch if the screen is frozen and will not allow you to use the "slide to power off"

How can I reboot my Touch when the screen is frozen and I cannot use the "slide to power off" feature?

Next try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My macbook pro (10.6.8 version) the screen turns blue, can not operate, forced shutdown, I installed the windows 7 Home Basic version.

My macbook pro (10.6.8 version) the screen turns blue, can not operate, forced shutdown, I installed the windows 7 Home Basic version.

To fix your issue is too complicated and lengthy to go into all of it here, it will require the services of person very familiar and experienced with Mac's to first recover your data and then restore OS X back to a functional state, then hopefully achieve the goals you were attempting.
I advise you hire the services of a local Mac computer support technician experienced in these matters.
Have them look at your Wifi and computer backup proceedures in the process.
Good Luck.

How can I reboot my Ipad when I do not have access to the power off screen?

My device slide off my couch while in its cover. IT was working afterwards, for about 5 min. I sat it down while I took something out of the oven and was back maybe 5min. or so later. When i try to access it, all I see is a black screen. I cannot unlock it or even power off. How can I reboot it without the power off swipe ?

Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reboot/Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
Restore: Connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory

How can I reboot my macbook pro to how i first got it if i don't have the cd

How can I reboot my Macbook Pro to how it was when I first got it if I don't have the cd

I had to do this the othe day when I got my mew retina and set it up and then tried to transfer data from my old mac instead of using migration and made a real mess of it. And I wanted to start all over again, so I called apple help and they said this:
Basically what you do is wipe the hard disc clean my reformatting - thats a scary bit
then reboot holding alt down and you get an option screen
you choose intalll Lion and it comes in via wifi and takes 2 hours or so , and then its just like an out of the box computer.
Best look for through some threads to double check the method, but thats basically what I did and it was fine.
Obviously cos the retina doesnt have a dvd drive, it had to be the only way anyway.

How do I backup files if can't reboot?

Volume 23 has an error msg of incorrect file number and therefore will not allow the machine to boot the OS. I've tried repairing the disc using the disc utility. It instructs me to backup the files and reinstall. How can I backup files, if I can't reboot the OS to access the files?

There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

Can't reboot Mac snow leopard

Hi you all.
I have a Macbook Pro Os X snow leopard 10.6.3. I erased my hard drive and now I can't reboot my computer. It wont even take me to the login screen. I tried to reinstall with my installation disk but the installation fails. When I turn on the computer, I get the flashing folder with the question mark, but if I put the CD into the drive, then the folder changes to the apple. I get pass the language selection screen and where to install os x screen, but still, the whole installation fails. The only option that I have for startup is the installation disk and network utility but it won't let me choose the network option. I tried command+ etc+p+r but nothing happens. Tried option during startup and nothing happens. I ran disk repair in the utility and it says the disk is OK. I tried to partition and reinstall, it still fails. Please' please help.. Thanks in advance.

Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
