I’ve had two server oses here: alma linux and debian(currently). On both of them, they will hang when I shut them down from cockpit, and they hang at the end of the shutdown.
Also, it takes an hour to a day to have this issue start. if it’s restarted two times in a row quickly, it works perfectly fine for some reason.
What I’ve tried:
- setting “acpi=off” and “acpi=force” kernel parameters in grub
- removing my nvidia gpu(i was using nouveau drivers)
- changing distros
nothing worked. here are some things that both distros had in common with eachother:
- systemd
- cockpit
- libvirt & qemu
- docker
does anyone have advice? nothing i’ve seen online has worked. thank you for suggestions
@potentiallynotfelix Ok bet of luck. I’ve had all sorts of weird issues with systemd as of late, but not sure how many of those are inherent to systemd itself and how many are Ubuntu’s config of same.
sudo systemctl rebootdid the same. I’m starting to think this is bios related.@potentiallynotfelix Well flash to an older and see how it goes. I’ve seen some wired bios issues. I’ve got an i7=6850k machine on an Asus motherboard, and after I flashed to the latest bios, the USB power strobed on and off every few seconds so keyboard and mouse would work then not work then work then not work. I thought something was broken with hardware but then found others had the same issue with the most current BIOS, flashed to one release earlier and all good.
Flashing an older bios seemed to succeed! I gave it 14 hours or so before attempting a reboot, and if seemed to reboot without stalling. I’ll give it a few more days now and try another, but that seemed to have fixed it.
@potentiallynotfelix Ya gotta love it!
Thank you!
@potentiallynotfelix You’re most welcome!
