DeskTop machine restarts instead of shutting down. AHS, xfce. [Solved]

[jj 5117]

No huge deal, just inconvenient. ...

In a rather plain enclosure w/o fancy devices attached to the MOBO,
Whether from GUI or terminal, "shutdown" ends up restarting. (Restart works as expected.)
No other problems. Everything that I can read during shutdown seems to look good.
This has been going on for a long time. The case's power button isn't direct (remember the 80s!) so, mashing that button during a reboot isn't an exact science for avoiding data corruption.

"Shutdown" with the Nobara installation on the same drive works.
Win 10 and Win 11 on a different drive also shutdown fine.

This is a LUKS install. (So is the Nobara.)

Some Asus bios's keep the Wake-On-Lan live on debian systems. And on two of the newer Asus models I worked on there was also a Power On By PCI-e setting. (Which kept them alive when I attempted to shut them down.)

As I recall there is also a way to blacklist some modules which will fix this too, but I do not remember which ones it was. (And not sure it was on Asus either, I just remember seeing them. )

You have to give us the complete Quick System Info report, not just a truncated version. Forum rules.

[Charlie Brown]

Disable Fast Startup on Windows if you haven't.

What about with a different kernel? (Say, Liquorix 6.7.x from "MX Package Installer", just 2 clicks)

Also: What happens when booted with systemd ? Same there ?

No matter SysV or systemd, what about with this?

Code: Select all

sudo init 0

For what it is worth I have several Lenovo that are the same model. I am not saying these are your make or model I see you have an Asus.
But one particular PC does this while other ones of same model do not. Just to say sometimes is may be an anomaly of a particular machine.

[davidy]

Too true. My sys76 intel laptop with coreboot but with no intelme shutsdown on restart unless I'm plugged in. Then it restarts. When I hibernate I wait til the screen is totally blank for a few seconds, push the power button once, and then hold it in til the led is out. Works like a charm. Instead of a password I do the opposite in reverse. JK

Copy that J2. I didn't catch that detail in the rules. I was shooting for efficiency while limiting fingerprints. Here you go.

@Charlie Brown
Loaded my first Liquorix kernel. 6.7.12-1-liquorix-amd64 [6.7-18~mx23ahs] That fixed it, though that kernel had install errors and some boot errors. Both of those are probably from the hatchet-job cure I had used for Radeon drivers. (A driver with my GPU chip ID hadn't been ported yet.) I'll worry about the errors when I have to, or when I feel like it. Whichever comes last. :)

I didn't want to screw with sysemd. Nordvpn has gotten excited about that in the past. Other things might, too.

Init 0 was the same.

And, I had read that Windows quick-boot could be a problem with that. My Windows boots are on a secondary NVME, and on which I had borked the Windows boot loader/boot partition, and I haven't repaired it yet. :-)

@CharlesV
Thanks. I already had all of the PCIe/Lan and other power-on options disabled. But yep, different systems can be weird, and most bios controls kinda suck.

THANKS to ALL!

[CharlesV]

Excellent... Glad you have it resolved!
