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
And I guess if you’re in front of the computer, you could just press the reset button or unplug it at that point (after it sucessfully synchronized the disks). no need to let it sit, there is no harm or data to be lost at that point.
that is what I end up doing right now, but if I’m on vacation and I need to reboot, I’m fucked.
