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
I don’t have an Nvidia GPU so I don’t have any experience with it but a quick search brought me to Nvidias website and the instructions seem to line up with users answers on other forums.
Disable it here https://docs.nvidia.com/ai-enterprise/deployment/vmware/latest/nouveau.html or apparently installing Nvidias proprietary drivers automatically blacklists Nouveau.
lsmod | grep nouveaureturns nothing, so I assume removing my gpu automatically stopped it from being loaded. that sorta rules out nouveau as an issue.
