Can't shutdown

Hello
Since installing Mavericks (on the latest Mac Mini) without any issues, I can't seem to shut down anymore.
The finder clears the desktop and removes the menu bars then hangs and just sits there.
I have to open up a random app to get the Apple menu back to tell it to shutdown again.
The 2nd time it manages to shut down.
Now today when I booted up, it got stuck in the same situation, so I had no desktop or menu bar at start up.
Its the first time I've seen this problem on the mac.
anyone having this problem?
Marvericks has also wiped out a lot of my audio gear (digital noise in the IN/OUT, Garageband crashes, Pro Tools doesn't work)
But that's another issue.

I have same issue on shutdown or reboot. Also, FInder crashes a lot. Cant start my CS5 apps, although Adobe says they are compatible, even after java update. iTunes is now not starting..hanging on opening with "not responding."
Pages and Numbers were having similar issues too.
SIGH.

[SOLVED] Can not shutdown/restart from KDE with systemd

Hello,
Recently, following I switched to a pure systemd setup. The process was simple and most things worked "right out of the bpx". However, I can not shutdown or restart from KDE!
Let's say that I do the 3 finger salute (ALT-CTRL-DEL) and select "Turn off computer" what I get is KDE shutting down, but then I will only get a console (TTY) login prompt. Pressing ALT-CTRL-DEL then will trigger a reboot. I can also login and use "systemctl poweroff". However, I don't understand why it doesn't work straight from KDE.
Are there some packages I must install? Are there some systemd services that I must enable? What other relevant info should I include in this post?

As bgc1954 said, there is also a symlink "/sbin/poweroff". Just edit the file "/usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc", go to [shutdown] an replace the line "HaltCmd=/sbin/halt" with "HaltCmd=/sbin/poweroff".

WindowsXP (HVM, PV Driver) can't shutdown/reboot by Oracle VM Manager 3.0.3

I install a virtual machine (Windows XP SP3) as HVM/PV withOracle VM Windows Paravirtual (PV) Drivers 3.0.1.
Oracle VM Manager 3.0.2 can shutdown / reboot the virtual machine with PV driver, but Oracle VM Manager 3.0.3 can not do that.
Also when I install the Oracle VM Windows Paravirtual (PV) Drivers 3.0.1 to Windows XP SP3, the virtual machine has two NICs.
One is "Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC", and the other one is "ORacle VM Virtual Ethernet Adapter".
Both NIC are connecting the VM Network.
I think when the PV drivers installed to the virtual machine, the original NIC should be disapper.
Does anybody has same problem?

Yes. I tried two ways as below;
1) I made the virtual machine as "HVM" mode, then I install Windows XP SP3,.
After installed OS I installed the PV drivers, then I shutdown the virtual machine and I switched the mode to "HVM with PV Drivers", and booted it.
2) I made the virtual machine as "HVM with PV Drivers" mode, then I install Windows XP SP3.
After installed OS I installed the PV drivers, and rebooted it.
Both of them I can't shutdown the virtual machine from Oracle VM manager.
I can see these Oracle VM devices in device manager, "Oracle VM Virtual Disk Controller", "Oracle VM Virtual PCI Bus", "Oracle VM Virtual SCSI Disk Device","Oracle VM Virtual Ethernet Adapter".
And "Oracle VM Service" is installed as Windows service and running.
The "Oracle VM Virtual Ethernet Adapter" can connect my VM networks without problem.
I think Oracle VM 3.0.2 does not have this kind of problems.
My oracle VM 3.0.3 are not upgraded from 3.0.2. It is fresh.

But, I can not shutdown it using command "power-off" at "OK" prompt.(before, I use "init 0" to "OK" prompt)
I got this message :
{13} ok power-off
ERROR: do_interpret: no such symbol "power-off"
ERROR: undefined word
Could any body tell me what step can I do to shutdown this machine properly,please?

Dear All,
Sorry, if I ask this question to this forum again. Yesterday, I tried to shutdown SUN Fire 4800 machine. It is the same machine which I asked to all of you before.
At "OK" prompt, I typed *#.* in order to go to SC (System Controller) to shutdown the Machine. (As I know that "OK" prompt just shutdown the OS level)
But, I got the Error message.. These are commands that I have typed, but still did not work
{12} ok ~#
ERROR: do_interpret: no such symbol "~#"
ERROR: undefined word
{12} ok ~.
ERROR: do_interpret: no such symbol "~."

ERROR:
I also tried to type command :(This comamand I got from SUN Firev4800 manual reference)
OK ctrl - ]
I connect to SUN Fire 4800 using serial cable (DB25) to USB port at my laptop, using either "Hyperterminal" or "TeraTerm"
-Bit persecond : 9600
-Data Bit : 8
-Parity : None
-Stop Bits : 1
-Flow Control : None
I can see the screen and typed "init 0" to go to "OK" prompt.But it still does not work. What happen? What should I do? For this case, is there any influence from "keyboard" layout (because I use my laptop keyboard) ?
Note : I also tried typed *"init 5"* to shutdown the server, but it still go to "OK" prompt
Please suggest...
Thanks for any help

Ferianto

Can a "shutdown abort" cause a fractured block?

Hey there, simple question: Can a "shutdown abort" cause a fractured block?
I'm currently doing some postmortem work on an old DB (EBS R12 OBA) installation and what might lead to a fractured block. It appears that once a fractured block is detected, Oracle Support automatically shuffles the issue off as a "serious issue within the OS/HW layer". I suppose as a DBA this means they can wash their hands of the issue and pass it on to someone else.
So far it appears that an OS level app could compromise the write of logical blocks to OS blocks. It also appears that logical volume configuration (pertaining to an older AIX install) could lead to fractured blocks. Yet another article indicates that an HBA I/O error could lead to this issue. And of course file-system corruption.
But...going back to the original question, can a shutdown abort on a database introduce a fractured block?

It cannot. A shutdown abort or any abnormal termination means that active transactions are terminated without COMMIT or ROLLBACK. When you start the database after a SHUTDOWN ABORT or any other abnormal termination, Oracle says the active transactions failed and rolls them back. You will be left with the database in a consistent state as if those active transactions never occurred. I suppose you could say that until recovery is complete the block could be in a fractured state meaning that the contents could be inconsistent. But once the database is opened, the block is consistent and not fractured.
HTH,
Brian

I can only shutdown arch linux using the terminal.

Recently I started using SLIM to log into Arch Linux. I was having trouble with the gnome-keyring window popping up everytime I logged in while using GDM. I downloaded SLIM and changed some settings so that gnome-keyring wouldn't pop up everytime.
Here are the changes I made:
~/.xinitrc using this article https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18930
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon -s --components=pkcs11,secrets,ssh)
And /etc/pam.d/slim
#%PAM-1.0
auth requisite pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_env.so
auth required pam_unix.so
account required pam_unix.so
password required pam_unix.so
session required pam_limits.so
session required pam_unix.so
session optional pam_loginuid.so
session optional pam_ck_connector.so
auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so*
session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start*
*= the changes I made to the file.
I was hoping to just stop gnome-keyring from popping up everytime I log into Arch Linux (ideally I wanted to auto log in) and now I can't shutdown unless I use the $ sudo shutdown -h now command in the terminal. When I click on the "Power Off" button in Gnome 3 it basically logs me out to the SLIM log in screen. I was able to shutdown the computer before by shutting the laptop screen/lid but that doesn't do anything now for some reason. Is there a way for me to auto log into arch without the gnome-keyring popping up everytime?
Additionally, with the gnome keyring dialog I wasn't able to click the "Automatically log in....." radio button because it was grayed out for some reason.

I believe everything is working smoothly after I rebooted... I think this is solved... but its good measure to double check.

Shutdown the machine until you can take it to a Apple repair/store and get a new adapter or contact the person you might have switched it with.

That's down to the web site. If "Contact Us" links to a page with details, fine, but as you say, some sites make the link a mailto: link, which automatically opens your default Mail app.
I don't think there's a setting to change this, but TinkerTool (free) allows you to change some "under the hood" settings, and might help

Why my T400 can not shutdown?

yesterday, I installed my Sierra Wireless MC8765 wwan card designed for lenovo on my T400. Almost every thing is ok, except my computer can not shutdown normal.
if I choice shutdown the laptop, it seems like closed, but the LIGHT in the front panel ( 4th from the left,just a letter[ 1] in it) is on.
if you listen careful you can hear the fan run, and the laptop is still on. I have to press the i/o few second to shut down it.
After I restart my computer the mistake go on.
anyone can tell me how to do this?
thanks very much!

I had the same issue on my T400. Get rid of the Client Password Manager, upgrade the fingerprint reader (if you have one) update the BIOS and every Thinvantage software on it.
My T400 now shuts down in about 5.8seconds.
Hope that works for you.
