Pc won't shut down with 2.6.20-3 ... troubles

i've been using acpi since 2.6.3 and it worked fine until 2.6.19.2.
but with 2.6.20 after i shut down from xfce via hal, from gdm or as root by typing "halt", the system restarts when it should stop.
the harddisk spins in a strange way at the restart, as if it tried to shut down but then gets restarted. when i actually want to restart the system, those spinups don't exist.
i have a p4 on an asus p4b800-e board with intel chipset.
so far i've tried acpi=off apm=power-off in different combinations. with only acpi=off, the system keeps running after i tried to shutdown after the message "system halted" and i have to press the power button to power it off. when i add apm=power-off, the last message i get is "powered down" and then the system just stays there. again, i have to press the power button.
i have the latest bios for the mainboard and it worked fine until i installed 2.6.20. when i downgrade to 2.6.19.2, the pc shuts down as before. shutdown from windows works fine too.
btw, when i shut down from within xfce, i can't see the output messages anymore. i only get strange graphic errors from the X server. this also never happened with 2.6.19.2 and previous. And using evdev with 2.6.20 makes X segfault at startup.. so far 2.6.20 has caused nothing but troubles for me, whereas all the previous kernels never did anything strange like the latest

slax found a patch which i tested and tpowa added it to 2.6.20-4, so the problem ist fixed with that version.

  • G5 dual 1.8 WON'T shut down with TIGER 10.4.7

    Hi all. Updated the G5 dual with Tiger, did the 10.4.7 combo update and it still won't shut down. Have to hold the power button. I've tried creating a new administrator but to no avail. Logging out won't do it either. I upgraded from 10.3.9 for music software reasons--too bad I was "forced up" since 10.3.9 worked fine. My G4 laptop 1.33 has no issues with Tiger at all.
    Any suggestions??

    Contributed by Fumiaki Kawashima a Level 4 here;
    There are many reasons to become unable shutting down or restarting from Apple Menu. Some were explained by other posters.
    Most importantly, loginwindow (the parent process is launchd.) close out the user session, continue to set the device permissions and user preferences to their defaults in a restart action, or the process power off the system in a shutdown action. However, the issue proves that somewhere in those routines cannot be performed.
    Users authentication system seems to be intact because you can restart or shutdown from the login window. However, the admin account authenticated by the Tiger security systems could confuse somehow and affect loginwindow process for setting up the user environment. This may result in interfering with the process for the shutdown and restart mentioned above.
    Test if you can shutdown from the keyboard-- Holding down controloptioncommand keys, and then press the eject key.
    Check if the loginwindow plists are corrupted. To do this test, remove the followings to temporary folders on the desktop, and shutdown from the keyboard shortcut combination. Restart the computer to test the recurrence.
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    /Users/HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    Try disabling Login Items for third-party applications via the Accounts system preference, if any.
    Verify whether any third-party kernel extensions (including device drivers) interfere with the loginwindow hooks process-- Start up with a Safe-mode, then test the Restart from Apple Menu to see whether it works. Also, boot into a Single-user mode, and test if "reboot" command is available from the BSD layer. The I/O Kit API for software developers provides a shutdown hook so that ".kext" troubleshooting may need to be considered. Besides, some bad programmed extension may not be unloaded automatically at a shutdown or restart.
    If the computer is configured with Irish language Input method and/or third-party Irish keyboard, try disabling them to test.
    A third-party application or custom script may interfere with the loginwindow hooks for the Shut Down or Restart. For example, if you install an application that prevents casually powering down a system, the Shut Down and Restart buttons may not work. Also, if you install a P2P file sharing application, try uninstalling it.
    As last resorts, troubleshoot a bad RAM and consider "Erase and Install" solution.
    OPTION:
    Post a part of system.log that indicates events from "localhost kernel[0]: standard timeslicing quantum is 10000 us" to the next same line.
    This may help to narrow down because restarting or shutting down the system process can initiate the procedure programmatically by sending an appropriate Apple event to Mac OS X Tiger's system process (loginwindow).
    Likewise, check console.log whether any failures is reported.
    Corrections:
    Most importantly, the loginwindow (the parent process is launchd.) close out the user session, continue to set the device permissions and user preferences to their defaults in a restart action, or the process power off the system in a shutdown action.
    However, the admin account authenticated by the Tiger security systems could confuse somehow and it may impact on the loginwindow process for setting up the user environment. This may result in interfering with the process for the shutdown and restart as mentioned above.
    Addendum:
    If you post a copy of system.log, consider to edit the Ethernet interface ID to a fake value.
    API = Application Programming Interface

  • Satellite L40 won't shut down with power connected, and won't go in standby

    Hi everybody. I hope someone can help me. Basically, there are two problems: one with shutting the laptop (Satellite L40-17U (Vista 32-bit Home Premium SP1) ) down when the power is connected, and one with closing the lid and putting it to sleep.
    1. Since a few weeks, it suddenly doesn't want to shut down, whenever the power is connected. When it is on battery, it will shut down. When the power is connected and I try shutting it down, it seems like it shuts down (all activity ceases and the LEDs go off) for about 1 or 2 seconds, and then it goes back on.
    2. When I close the lid (all settings in Vista are set to put the laptop in 'sleep' status when the lid is closed) the laptop goes into a state from which it can only be recovered by shutting it down by pressing the on/off button for about 10 seconds to completely shut it down. When closing the lid, only the battery LED keeps blinking orange (the way it should be), but apparently the laptop keeps consuming power, because when I reboot it later (first having to shut it down as described above) the battery tends to be quite a emptier than it was before rebooting it (like going from 100% to 65% in 30 minutes, while being in 'sleep' state). Also, when I open the lid, the other LEDs do go on again (green), but nothing happens.
    After rebooting by first pressing the on/off button for 10 seconds to shut it down, I frequently get a message that Windows could not be started, and have to run System Repair.
    I've just done a completely clean installation with the product recovery CD (didn't install SP1 yet), upgraded the BIOS to v1.90, but the problem remains.
    I'm afraid my only option will be to bring it away for a warranty repair, but knowing that these repairs can take weeks, I'd prefer to try a solution anyone here could recommend me first. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Daniel Breslauer

    Hi guys
    Never had such issue on my notebook but regarding to another users here in the forum the BIOS might help to solve such strange notebook behavior
    To be honest the shut down issue is not known to me I noticed an standby issue on my notebook but the BIOS update helped.
    Therefore I recommend updating the BIOS firstly.
    If the issue will still appear, then the ASP should take a look into the notebook.
    Good luck

  • Commerce Server won't shut down with command on NT

    I need to have the Commerce server shut down using a command line argument; i.e. set-environment.bat followed by %JDK_HOME%\bin\java -classpath %WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH% weblogic.Admin t3://localhost:7501 SHUTDOWN system mypass.
    The system user and password work for the default weblogic server and with the console but not for the commerce server.
    The error that occurs is "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.SecurityException: Authentication for
    user system denied in realm weblogic".
    The software is Weblogic Commerce Server 3.2 and Weblogic Server 5.1.0 SP6, and Java SDK 1.3 (JDK) running on Windows NT 4 SP6. The java.policy file grants all permissions and is unchanged. I did add a user in the portal demo but that is all.
    I opened a case on evalnet but haven't found a solution.
    The weblogic.properties file has an appropriate line
    weblogic.password.system=password (it has my real password)
    All of the weblogic.allow.execute.weblogic.servlet.??? properties are set to the default of system.
    How else is the realm authentification set up? Where can I look for problems with the user?

    Nevermind, I found the problem. The system password for my weblogic default server is meaningless for commerce server as it has its own weblogic.properties file with the system user password of "weblogic".

  • MacBook Pro won't shut down with Lion

    After installing Lion onto a MBP I couldn't get it to shut down for days and had to keep reverting to holding the power button for 3 secs. I think I've found the solution, for me anyway; it was Kaspersky Anti-virus. After uninstalling using the toolkit form Kaspersky's site, all now appear well.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • My mac os x 10.4.11 won't shut down

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test if it will Shutdown from Safe Mode.

  • My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after new software (security update 2013-003) installation-- hangs at grey screen with "software update" at top.  It also intermittently goes to sleep without my asking.  What to do?

    My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after a new software installation (Security Update 2013-003).  It just hangs at a grey screen with "Software Update" at the top.  I have to force quit, then restart-- but the new software hasn't installed.
    My Mac also intermittently goes into Sleep mode, repeatedly, unprompted by me.  I suspect a connection between these two problems.
    I have tried deleting the /Library/Updates folder.  It hasn't helped.  The update still won't install, and my Mac won't shut down without my forcing the quit.
    Help please!

  • My Macbook Pro won't shut down or restart without forcing shut down. Hangs on grey screen. iTunes not recognizing iPod.

    HELP!!!
    Here are the specs of my machine:
    2011 13.3" MacBook Pro
    4 GB Ram/320 GB HD
    For the past several months my MacBook Pro refuses to shut down or restart without holding down the power button. Whenever I choose to restart or shut down the computer, it will hang on a grey screen. I have even tried letting it hang for an hour, and it still won't shut down. I notice that once in a while it will retart or shut down correctly if I had not used opened iTunes since turning it on. However, even manually closing iTunes before shutting down or restarting does not solve the problem. It seems as though it only shuts down if iTunes was not used since restarting the computer. Is this a registry error? Do I need to reinstall iTunes? I noticed this problem began happening after I uninstalled Kaspersky Virus Scanner, could that be the problem as well? Also, I cannot guarantee that the problem is only associated with iTunes. I just noticed that one of the few times it shut down or restarted correctly, iTunes coincidentally had not been used. Also, this problem started happening while I was still using Lion and has continued despite upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    Also, whenever I update my iPod through iTunes, it won't eject properly, and a transparent icon of the iPod displays on the screen even after I have removed it from the USB port. Furthermore, the iPod will only be recognized by iTunes and will only be updated the first time I plug it in. After removing it and plugging it back in, it won't recognize or update the device unless I shut down and restart the computer. I have the latest addition of iTunes. I also have two iPods, one 80 GB Classic, and one 8 GB Nano, and I have the same problem with both.
    I have AppleCare. Should I take my macbook to the genius bar?
    Applications I normally use are Word, Safari, FireFox, iTunes, FinalDraft, Photo Booth, Notes, Mail, App Store, etc. No real heavy lifting.
    Any feedback would be very much appreciated. :-)
    Thank you everyone!!

    I have this question too.

  • New i7 Macbook Pro does not shut down with Nokia Internet Modem CS-15

    Hello everyone!
    It is unfortunate that my first post here is regarding a problem! I am completely new to the whole Apple Mac thing but decided to buy a new 17 inch i7 Macbook Pro. Unfortunately a problem occurred when using the Nokia Internet Stick (modem) CS-15 where it stays on the blue screen with the spinning logo when trying to shut down. Heres what happened:
    After installing and connecting the modem, I used the intenet for a while. Then I folded the display panel downwards to put the computer to sleep mode (I didn't disconnect the modem) after a moment I pushed the display up again to bring the computer out of sleep mode and tried to quit the Nokia programme. It wouldn't so I used 'force quit'. It was not responding before. Once all programmes were closed, I shut down the computer but it just stays on the blue screen with the spinning logo. I can manually hold down the power button but i want to know why it won't shut down! I also noticed the Nokia Modem was still on with a flashing blue LED.
    I feel that the modem might be stopping the MBP from shutting down. I have tried to quit the programme before without putting the computer in sleep mode but sometimes it doesn't work and i need to use force quit.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? I haven't installed anything on the computer or have background programmes running - just seems to be a problem with USB devices stopping it from shutting down properly.
    I have also tried to pull the Modem out physically after quitting the programme but it still hangs on the blue screen!
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you!
    New Mac user!!

    Hi,
    running the activity monitor and select System Processes, set the window to see allrunning processes and sort by CPU usage, close all applications that are using and try to shut down your Mac, then identifies what the process that consumes more CPU percentage.

  • External hard drive won't shut down after switch from OS10.5 to OS10.4.11

    i recently chanded my OS from 10.5 to 10.4.11 (as a programme i want to use is not compatible with leopard), but since i have done this my external hard-drive won't shut down automatically when i shut down my mac. i have to switch it off at the plug instead.
    can anyone suggest how i can get it to do this again?
    i'm a little concerned that i'm damaging the external drive by turning it off manually all the time..
    thanks

    Some hard drives shut off with shutdown, some don't. Sometimes hard drives that did shut off with one system will not do the same with a different system. My hard drives which did shut off, prior to 10.5 now stay on.
    This is not really a problem as all hard drives spin down after 10- 20 minutes when not in use, whether your computer is on or off. Leaving the drive on is fine, shutting it off manually is fine.

  • 10.5.8 won't shut down after bad SD disk removal.  It stops all applications but won't get past the final shut down screen.

    I had a disk error with a SD disk from my camera.  Removed the disk from the card reader and got the Disk Removal Error alert.  Then the whole thing froze up on me.  Noting else would eject, No other apps would shut down and basically nothing worked.  I couldn't shut down so I removed the battery.  Restarted the computer ok then tried to repair the SD disk in question.  No luck on the repair so ejected it again.  Then tried to restart OS and it won't shut down again except everything still works but it just won't shut down.

  • Mini Mac won't shut down!

    Core Duo won't shut down or log out or re-start but can sleep. Can use terminal to kill processes but it is not an application causing the problem. The output is to a TV via S-Video and am using wireless keyboard via USB.
    Appreciate any suggestions.

    hello to the mac world
    @sunra
    same problem here on my mini mac, intel solo core, happens 3 times in one week now.
    it seems that my mini ignores shutdown, restart and log out.
    when I terminate the task "login window" then he jumps to the login screen, where I can shutdown or change the user.
    anyone an idea about this little problem?
    okay, it is not a big problem and with this problem I feel already home now...yes, I used windows the last years

  • GT70 takes longer to shut down with Windows 8.1

    Hello all,
    Hope at this time I am not the only one experiencing my laptop taking longer to shutdown before 8.1. I am wondering what I can do to lessen my shut down time for my laptop. I have a GT70-0ne. The shut down process before I upgraded took less then three minutes but now that I upgraded to 8.1 takes around five to six or even longer.  I have read several ways to get rid of the longer shut down period is two make two accounts and delete one, change the performance options, and last revert back to regular windows 8. Hope to hear some advice on the best option to resolve the issue.

    Lots of things can prevent Windows from shutting down. Even when I forgot to close my document file, Windows just won't shut down and won't log me off, instead it just dim the background and pop up some options.
    Having Malwarebytes and Kaspersky running is not ideal, because they will likely to conflict with each other. Turn off 1 of them.
    It can also means your hard disk fragmentation is high. Try to defrag your harddisk once in a while.
    It could be one annoying features that Windows try to compensate its sluggish OS called hybrid shutdown (this is to hibernate your computer instead really shut down, so your computer can boot up faster in the next time you turn it on). You can google it.

    Has anyone seen this before? All help greatly appreciated!

    Hi Sebastian,
    Thank you for your quick reply. Here's what I tried:
    1. reset the install as you suggested, and tried running root.sh again. The exact same thing happened.
    2. restored to an openfiler snapshots that were taken right before the failed upgrade. Increased memory on both VMs to 1280M as you suggested. Rebooted the virtual environment and ran the installation again. This time, the root.sh script froze my environment - not enough memory to support this.
    3. restored the openfiler snapshots again. Increased memory on one node (odbn1) to 1500M. Ran the install for a single node cluster. It got past this error.
    Thank you!!!
    Also, thanks for the tip on the ntp.init file. That did eliminate the error for ntpd not running during the installation.
