System hangs on shutdown

First, the source of the problem was the startupitem for mysql.
I removed all system startup items then rebooted fine, after that I eliminated all the options by placing them back 1 by 1.
What I find strange was that I moved the mysql startup item to the startup folder, set the permissions right and reboot.... And the system immediatly hung... Why is this (called) a startup item if it affects shutdown?
And how can it affect a shutdown like that.... How exactly are the startupitems used during shutdown?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

How can something that isnt started, refuse to shut down?
I dragged the mysql startup item to the startup folder and the system hang at the next reboot..... So it couldnt have been started right?

  • System hanging on shutdown

    The home directories on my system are on NFS.
    Most of the times, when users log out of their graphical session, some of their processes keep running (for instance /usr/bin/nepomukserver for KDE users and some processes related to pulse or to chromium).
    When shutting down the system, arch scripts first try unmounting network filesystems, and this fails, since /home is busy; then they send a SIGTERM to processes, and this fails as well (I believe it's because the network has been halted but /home hasn't been mounted), then the system hangs while unmounting non-API filesystems.
    If, before shutting down, I manually kill the user processes (nepomukserver, pulse, chromium, ...), arch is able to shutdown as expected.
    Am I the only one affected by this problem?
    How am I supposed to solve it?
    I'm thinking about writing a script to terminate (`kill` and then `kill -9`) any process using /home (`lsof /home`), but this looks like a terrible hack...

    So, since I couldn't find any other solution, decided to write a script (an init script to add to the DAEMONS array) that kills the processes using /home while halting the machine...
    If anybody will ever need it, here it is:
    /etc/rc.d/pathliberator
    #!/bin/bash
    # Path Liberator
    # kills processes that are using a given path
    DAEMON=pathliberator
    . /etc/rc.conf
    . /etc/rc.d/functions
    [ -r /etc/conf.d/$DAEMON ] && . /etc/conf.d/$DAEMON
    case "$1" in
    start)
    stat_busy "Starting path liberator"
    add_daemon $DAEMON
    stat_done
    stop)
    success=true
    for path in ${PATHS_TO_LIBERATE[@]}
    do
    pids=$( lsof -Fp $path | sed -rs "s/^.(.*)$/\1/g" )
    if [ "$pids" == "" ]
    then
    status "$path was already free" true
    continue
    fi
    # kill -TERM
    stat_busy "Liberating $path"
    kill -15 ${pids[@]} &>/dev/null
    pids=$( lsof -Fp $path | sed -rs "s/^.(.*)$/\1/g" )
    if [ "$pids" == "" ]; then
    stat_done
    continue
    fi
    stat_fail
    pids=$( lsof -Fp $path | sed -rs "s/^.(.*)$/\1/g" )
    # kill -KILL
    stat_busy "Liberating $path with SIGKILL"
    kill -9 ${pids[@]} &>/dev/null
    pids=$( lsof -Fp $path | sed -rs "s/^.(.*)$/\1/g" )
    if [ "$pids" == "" ]; then
    stat_done
    continue
    fi
    stat_fail
    success=false
    done
    status "Paths liberated" $success
    if [ $success ]
    then
    rm_daemon $DAEMON
    fi
    restart)
    $0 stop
    $0 start
    echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
    esac
    exit 0
    /etc/conf.d/pathliberator
    # Parameters to be passed to pathliberator
    PATHS_TO_LIBERATE=(/home/)
    It seems to be working, although didn't deeply test it...
    My DAEMONS array now looks like this:
    DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng cpufreq network crond nscd dbus rpcbind nfs-common netfs pathliberator gpm sshd @ntpdate alsa fuse gdm avahi-daemon)

  • System hangs at shutdown with rt73usb module [SOLVED]

    Since upgrading to the latest kernel (via standard Arch repos - not testing!) my system now hangs with a general protection fault error when shutting down, or though infrequent, randomly when browsing. Through some searching I have discovered this error is related to the use of the rt73usb module, and am able to reproduce the error by removing it (modprobe -r rt73usb).
    I have seen that others have experienced the same problem, and in some cases reverted to the legacy rt73 drivers, an option I have tried by compiling and installing from AUR source. However, whilst the new module is 'hang free' and able to pick up my dongle, getting a network connection with a WPA encrypted key is not something I have achieved with either wicd or netcfg, in the first instance getting a 'bad password error' and in the latter an "ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not permitted"; each of these tools use the wext driver to 'talk' to the rt73 module, which I think is where things fall down.
    Before upgrading to the 3.0 kernel (coming from a CD install), the rt73usb and kernel were harmonious, but I had bigger problems in random x-server closures, so downgrading is not a remedy.
    What therefore  is my best solution in terms of (a) getting a connection with the rt73 module, or (b) getting stable rt73usb modules?

    I've not investigated the issue within the last few days, but only got so far with rutilit: as before rt73's rausb0 interface was picked up, but no connection was made. Frustratingly, Rultilt gave me nothing in the way of error reporting : all i've so far is an excerpt from /var/log/message:
    [stuart@myhost ~]$ sudo cat /var/log/messages.log* | grep rutilt
    Password:
    Sep 19 16:08:08 myhost kernel: [ 60.675310] rutilt[819]: segfault at 84 ip 00007effa9ac1c64 sp 00007fffa0728660 error 4 in libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.6[7effa9a53000+ad000]
    libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 is provided by the GTK2 package, so I am not convinced this error is related to my connection, or lack thereof. This however is all I have.
    If you are wanting to try out  rutilt w/ the rt73 module for your own exploration, to save you some time...
    Rutilt can be got here:
    (snapshots exist at later dates)
    http://arm.konnichi.com/2009/11/01/community/os/ 
    The patched rt73 module can be compiled and installed with yaourt. If you receive an 'smp_lock.h error' at compilation then creating a null file at /usr/include/linux should resolve this:

  • System hangs during shutdown, blue screen with gear spinning.

    My MBP gets stuck during shutdown/restart process.
    The system acts like it is shutting down, exits the the desktop, goes to a blue screen with a spining gear then never turns off.  It seems the screen falls aslep if you leave it awhile but the system itself won't actually shutdown. If you move the mouse the screen lights back up. but still shos the "death gear"! happens on both shutdowns or restarts.  System must be turned off by holding the power switch for 10 secs.
    Please help!
    Chris

    Seems like a odd thing. If youve downloaded torrents of hacked programs or things like that may have been the cause by the uploader hacking and doinng this. I would bring the Macbook Pro to the apple store and see what they can do. If they cant do anything about it I would backup all the important programs and get rid of anything that seems suspicious. Then upload the stuff back onto the computer after you restore it. Thats the best solution.

  • Cannot unmount /mnt after installation & system hangs on shutdown.

    Once I exit chroot and run 'umount /mnt' as per the beginner's guide, I get the message:
    umount: /mnt: target is busy.
    (In some cases useful info about processes that use
    the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
    I am fairly new to Arch and Linux in general. I've installed Arch in 2 other machines with no such problem.
    The root of this whole issue is that my laptop hangs when I shutdown. It hangs on either one of these lines:
    kvm: exiting hardware virtualization
    or
    sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronizing SCSI cache
    I can't find anything by googling so I am pretty much clueless. I thought the issue stemmed from my not unmounting /mnt properly after the installation.

    I'm not sure why your /home is mounted at /mnt (that's where your root partition should have been mounted, with your /home then mounted at /mnt/home), but you should not have anything left on /mnt at the end of the installation. The Beginners' Guide tells you to run this command:
    umount -R /mnt
    This should unmount everthing on /mnt.
    I did mount /home at /mnt/home, my mistake.
    Running
    umount -R /mnt
    gives the same result as in the OP.

    Do you mean
    umount /dev/sdxy
    I ran
    umount /dev/sdb3
    (this is /home) and it is not mounted. I ran
    umount /dev/sda3
    (this is /) and I get the same error.
    According to
    mount
    , /dev/sda3 is still mounted on /mnt and udev is still mounted on /mnt/dev. That's the only things still mounted on /mnt.

  • System Hangs on X-kill, reboot, or shutdown [an fglrx problem].

    I'm pretty sure this is linked with my new monitor somehow. I got a new monitor, its hooked up with the DVI cable. Whenever I try to:
    exit openbox
    ctrl-alt-backspace to kill x
    restart (shutdown -r now)
    or shutdown (shutdown - now)
    my system hangs. My screen shuts off, and starts blinking the power button, and its not responding.

    I've no idea whether it's possible for a new monitor to somehow cause this... are you running ATI or nVidia drivers? Is direct rendering working, do you know?
    Try doing
    $ sudo chown -r yourNonRootUser /path/to/yourNonRootUsersHome
    and seeing whether that remedies the problem with exiting openbox.
    Also, look in /var/log/ for your Xorg.#.log files (I forget whether they're in a subdirectory in there... maybe under /var/log/x11/  ). See whether the most recent log file has any warnings or errors (EE or WW in brackets) that may indicate the source of the problem.

  • System hangs on reboot/shutdown after kernel upgrades

    I've been experiencing the problem that, whenever pacman upgrades the kernel, the system hangs on reboot or shutdown.  It only happens on the first reboot/shutdown after a kernel upgrade.  I've noticed it consistently for a while now.
    To reboot, I issue:
    # reboot
    To shutdown, I issue:
    # shutdown -h now
    I should also mention that I typically reboot after kernel upgrades because hotplugged storage devices (USB, SD) fail to be detected unless the system reboots.  That is, devices plugged in during the upgrade remain usable, but plugging in something new appears in /dev.  There may be an obvious reason for it that I'm missing, but it's never bothered me enough to look into it.  Not sure if this and the reboot/shutdown issue are related, though.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    When Apple Hardware Test says there is a problem, there definitely is a problem.
    But like many diagnostics, it does not catch everything.
    It can increase your confidence that you do not have gross flaws. The Hardware problems that remain may be more subtle ones.

  • Odd System Hangs [SOLVED]

    I have a cleanly installed Arch (x86) system on a Dell Vostro 1500
    Intel 2.5 GHz Core 2
    Braodcom Wireless (ndiswrapper)
    4GB Ram
    250 GB Western Digital HDD (sata)
    nvidia 8400 GS 256 MB
    1650x1080 Resolution
    Built in UVC web cam
    I seem to be having these completely random and odd system hangs.
    It prevents me from using my computer for more than a few minutes at a time.
    When it hangs, its usually what ever process im in gets stuck, i cant kill it completely all the time. Sometimes i can using top as root and sometimes i can using kill -kill but sometimes i cant at all and that is usually when the PPID is 1.
    When I try to shutdown or reboot either from in gnome or one of the virtual consoles, it always says something about either the root or home partition unable to be unmounted, that they are still busy.
    my partition layout is such:
    sda1    NTFS    Vista (I have to have it because of stupid itunes/iphone)
    sda2    ext2     boot
    sda3    xfs       root
    extended:
    sda5    xfs       home
    sda6   swap     swap
    my ntfs partition is about 50GB and when i boot into vista i dont get the same hangs, so i don't think its a hard drive issue (but could be an partition issue)
    boot partition is something like 300MB
    root is something like 12 GB
    Home is something like 70 gb
    and swap is about 2gb
    It does not matter whether or not im in gnome since if at log in screen, ill hit ctrl+alt+f1 and switch to a consol and do something as simple as like update the computer and ill cause it to hang sometimes (but not every time its too unpredictable)
    When in gnome however, most applications refuse to launch and sometimes even close. The gnome-panel and some (like the system monitor) lock up but things like cpu freq scaling continues to work as does log out and the menu.
    i have also had issues with the latest (-3) nvidia driver and can only get 1680x1050 resolution using the open source nv drivers (haven't had a chance to build from aur the beta drivers yet since there is an issue with the nvidia-utils-beta package) but i don't think this is causing it.
    i used the western digital tool to do a hard drive scan, and it didn't find anything in the quick scan but it is still running the full scan.
    I suspect it might be due to some package upgrade, i was running arch before the reformat and it was causing me to have the same issues.
    i have kicked my personal Ubuntun (and derivatives) additional because of Arch's rolling release cycle so that's why i would rather put up with it for another week to figure this out!
    Let me know if there is any log files i should post or anything that way i can get this fixed! And thanks in advanced (even to those of you who will probably only comment to make fun of vista, it still will keep my thread alive! )

  • System hangs anytime there is a restart either forced by update or selected from "start" button

    Model: p7-1227cWindows: Windows 7 Home Premium  Service Pack 1 (64-bit)Processor: AMD A10-5700 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 3.40 GHzRAM: 12 GBBIOS: JAS_704.rom v 7.04 (AMI 7.04, 3/16/2012)SMBIOS Version: 2.7 In recently applying a Windows update, my system loaded the update and required a restart. The system shut down showing the log off screen and stating not to turn my system off as it was applying the update. After appearing to fully complete the update during the log off process, the machine went to restart, however the monitor went blank and the power button on the monitor started blinking as if there was no signal to the monitor. Assuming that perhaps it was a monitor issue, I tested the monitor on several other PCs and also connected a different monitor to my HP Pavilion with no change - monitors all worked properly and the system would still hang on a blank screen anytime there was a restart. I also tried removing all USB devices (mouse, printer, keyboard) during a restart and the system still would hang. Next troubleshooting piece was to try and remove the updates and restore to a date prior to the issue - this also did not work or resolve my issue. I removed a number of software programs assuming that perhaps there was a conflict, including the removal of my anit-virus software and the system still would hang. I ran a scan and chkdsk with no reported errors. I also used the built-in tool from HP to check the HDD and all results show everything was ok. I looked in my event log to see if there was any information that might help me troubleshoot, but most of the logs seem to be generic information as it pertains to start up and shut down and the "hangs" on the various restarts. (See below) With still no solution, I finally did a factory reset to hopefully restore everything and eliminate the problem and that did not resolve it either. I tried it twice (once from the partition and once from recovery discs). After restoring my system to the factory reset, I went to HP and updated all my drivers to see if that eliminated the problem - still hangs on any restart. I installed all the Windows updates and still no change - would hang after each system restart. At this point, I don't know what else to try. I have looked to see if there is a BIOS update, but for this particular system, it doesn't appear HP has one - not even the original one is listed on the support driver/software download page.  I have been able to enter what appears to be a hybrid BIOS/HP Setup screen and select reset all settings, but that did not resolve the issue. In a nutshell, the system will start Windows completely fine from a cold boot. It will start if the machine is shut down through the log off process and is off for approximately 2 minutes. It will hang up if you use the restart option while in Windows from the start menu or if the system does a restart due to an update.  The only way to get out of the blank screen and "hung" system is to hold the power button until it powers down (defnitely not the ideal way to power down). I thought perhaps there was an issue with the temperature of the PC, but even on a cold boot after sitting all night, if you have the system instantly do a restart (less than a minute of the PC being on), the machine will hang up on a blank screen. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated - hopefully I have provided enough detail here to resolve the issue. The PC is not under factory warranty, but I do have the option to leverage the AMEX extended warranty, however that requires an estimate through a HP approved repair center which isn't very convenient.

    Hi, Disconnect all devices other than the keyboard, mouse and monitor.  I don't think that hardware is causing the shutdown issue but you can never be sure that it's not hardware.  The HP hardware diagnostics might give you some confidence that hardware is not the issue. Run a fully virus and malware scan to make sure that the system is clean.  Run these Norton tools  or another similar product to make sure that your PC is clean. Another suggestion is to revert to a known good Windows restore point before the issued started. This might eliminate a bad Windows update. Typically a hang on shutdown is a result of a task/service not responding to a terminate request from Windows.  Since the same hang occurs under SAFE MODE, I suggest that you review the tasks and services running when in SAFE MODE and see if you can determine what possibly is causing the issue.  You might at this point consider doing a full HP recovery using the HP external recovery media.  

  • IBM OS ISSUE: SYSTEM HANG WITH JFS2 AND HEAVY LOAD

    제품 : ORACLE SERVER
    작성날짜 : 2004-11-24
    IBM OS ISSUE: SYSTEM HANG WITH JFS2 AND HEAVY LOAD
    ==================================================
    PURPOSE
    이 문서는 IBM AIX5L OS 상에서 Arch Process가 online redo log
    를 release하지 못하고 OS의 kill 명령으로 kill조차 되지 않을 경우
    조치 방법이다.
    Problem Description
    이 문서는 다음 OS 정보와 Oracle version인 경우에 해당한다.
    Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 9.2.0.5.0
    Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 8.1.7.4.0
    AIX5L Based Systems (64-bit) or (32-bit)
    문제 발생 당시의 증상은 다음과 같다.
    - arch-process doesn't release redolog files
    - arch-process doesn't die after database shutdown
    - arch-process can't be killed
    genclntsh 수행 시 hang 상태이다.
    (sleeping...)28590: kwaitpid(0x2FF22470, -1, 4, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    또는 이 문제로 인하여 ORA-600[2103] 에러가 발생하기도 한다.
    이 에러가 발생하는 원인은 IBM AIX5L 64bit, 32bit OS 이슈에 있다.
    IBM OS issue: SYSTEM HANG WITH JFS2 AND HEAVY LOAD.
    Workaround
    none
    Solution Description
    OS AIX5L ML4.0(5.2.0.40)의 bos.up / bos.mp / bos.mp64 fileset level을
    갖는 JFS2 file system을 갖는 경우에 해당한다.
    AIX 5.3 APAR IY59387은 IY58143에 포함되어 있다.
    JFS2 file system에 Heavy I/O activity가 발생하면 database process에
    HANG 문제를 야기시킬 수 있다. 이 때 database process가 kill -9
    명령으로 kill되지 않는다. 데이타베이스를 SHUTDOWN하여도 Process가
    계속 살아 있게 된다.
    Process에게 SIGKILL 함수가 issue되었지만 영향을 주지 않게 된다.
    Process를 제거하는 유일한 방법은 OS를 reboot하는 것이다.
    문제를 예방하는 방법은 IBM APAR-FIX IY59082 를 적용하는 것이다.
    이 APAR는 bos.64bit 5.2.0.42에 포함되어 있다.
    Fix :
    Need to install the IBM APAR-FIX IY59082, this APAR is included on
    bos.64bit 5.2.0.42.
    (주) IBM 엔지니어에게 확인 결과 이 Patch 안에 AIX5L 32bit 용과 64bit
    용이 모두 포함되어 있는 것으로 확인됨.

    <Note:285158.1>

    b,
    The install was from my original Dell XP Pro-SP1 'Reinstallation' CD along with the complete MS XP-SP2 download that I burned to another CD. I also had all the latest Dell drivers from their website burned to a CD. Install went as follows:
    - Format HD
    - Install XP Pro SP1
    - Install SP2
    - Install Dell Drivers
    - Obtain any MS patches from their site
    - Install Office
    - Update Office from the MS website
    - Install iTunes
    - Tweak MS settings
    - Install many software programs
    - Make an interim Image of system and store to ExHD
    - Install other software programs (mostly security programs)
    - Make another 'complete' Image to ExHD
    - Restore backup data and music
    After additional testing last night, I determined that it is not iTunes at all (or to blame). I get intermittent hangs/freezes/pauses in other media players (WMP, etc.).
    Seems that something is causing the 'System' process to periodically jump up in CPU %age (though not more than 30-50%). Even this relatively small amount is enough to pause the playback of music or video, hang the mouse movement for a brief moment, or delay a menu opening. All very subtle - you have to be looking for it to notice (except with real-time audio-video, which is quite noticeable whenever this happens).
    I had this problem a year ago, which is why I reimaged then and stayed with SP1 on the advice of Dell and Webroot. I'm stumped as to where to look for the culprit. Every time I go back to the original HD with SP1, everything runs smoothly. Some sort of system call is generating this complete pause....
    I'll be limited in my Internet ability for the next several days, so I may be out of touch until Friday. I'll keep testing and playing with the limited equipment I take along....
    Any thought you or others want to toss out, I'll attempt when possible.
    Thanks!

  • IMac 12,1 Lion hangs on shutdown

    We have recently brought a number of iMacs (12,1) and i have created a lion (10.7.5) image, but we are having a problem where they keep hanging on shutdown, everything appears to shut down but the mac doesn't power off it just sits on a white screen.

    Thank you for your response, i haven't been able to replicate the fault again on the mid 2011 iMacs but i have had the problem on a number of mid 2007 iMacs. Please find attached log.

  • Os x lion hangs during shutdown

    System hangs showing white screen with status wheel.  I have to power cycle the box to get it going again.  I just upgraded to Lion before this occured.

    I had the same rpoblem since installing 10.7 - and 10.7.1 fixed nothing.
    i rang Applecare but the guy seemed unconcerned (i had other more pressing Wifi Problems he did solve by getting rid of my Airport network and building a new one)..
    So I deliberately quit all apps and shutdown hard, then examined the console on restart (I had previously repaired permissions, zapped the PRAM and reset the SMC anyway for the Wifi issue....so it should have been a clean system.
    Lo and behold, I found a reference in the console log to an SD card I had left plugged into my iMac.
    So I ejected the SD card, and did a restart to test...and Hey presto- it worked like magic!
    I hoep this helps you guys.
    Now for the remaining mystery - rearranged desktop icons on startup...i.e. some but not all, and not always....Apple should be doing this debugging not me!

  • System hangs, but mouse cursor is moving and music keeps on playing

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing very odd behaviour with my MacBook.
    System hangs suddenly. I can't switch to any programs, but music keeps on playing and mouse cursor moving. It stays like this forever unless I force laptop to shutdown (by pressing the power button over 5 secs).
    Few things that I've noticed when system crashed:
    - I had a lot of programs running (Photoshop, Firefox, lots of small apps)
    - I used Expose or alt-tab
    - iTunes is playing music
    Can anyone recommend some tests or tricks that I could run before sending it to the Apple service?

    You might be right about having less apps to consume RAM. I've upgraded my RAM to 2GB because I knew this would be on issue.
    Maybe I just have to start looking for better performance. Something that can house more RAM. 2xQuad Core Mac Pro for example

    - When this problem occurs again, go to the Apple Menu and activate Force Quit. Then, quit applications that may be hanging.
    I tried to point out that mouse cursor is moving but system doesn't respond to any clicks.
    I'll try the Main Menu and keep eye on RAM consumption. I'll post to this thread if it hangs again.

  • Many itunes install/uninstalls...hangs on shutdown - svchost.exe memory err

    On my new desktop, I've been fighting to install itunes. This was frought with problems from the first try, but I'll skip all those sordid details. Escalating from some earlier more simple attempts to uninstall & reinstall iTunes, I just went through what must be the Ultimate exhaustive complete uninstall process, shown at support.apple.com/kb/HT1926 (Completely Remove iTunes and Quicktime). As this section instructs, I then reinstalled iTunes from a fresh download. Between the uninstall and reinstall, my system shut down normally, with no hangs. As always, though, with itunes installed, I get an interruption at shutdown:
    svchost.exe Application Error
    The instruction at "0x77dd6bcc" referenced memory at "0x77dd6bcc". The memory could not be "written".
    Three more clicks of "cancel" on that advisory only serve to shift the code a few digits or letters (i.e. 0x77df5655, etc), and then the system is hung for good on "Saving Your Settings..."
    This hang did't happen before my attempts at installing itunes.
    On my last two attempts at this, at least the radio function has come back - nothing worked before. But I can't tolerate a hang at shutdown in my life - it'll happen every time from now on & who knows what else will be affected by this.
    Any help appreciated.
