[Bug 220543] Re: Halt entry doesn't shutdown pc
This bug is still there. I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 on a Packard Bell v7956 and due to an incompatibility issue I cannot shutdown properly the machine. I have tried really everthing including acpi=force. Sometime it works other it doesn't. I was looking for a workaroud but if I type grub>halt the monitor does not turn off. Any suggestions? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220543 Title: Halt entry doesn't shutdown pc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/220543/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Now that I do understand, I'm confirming this bug. To reproduce: 1. edit /boot/grub/menu.lst Add after last entry - titleShut down halt 2. save the file 3. restart the system 4. choose Shut down from the boot menu 5. Observe the flashing - cursor; also note that the system has not shutdown, since a ctrl+alt+del will restart the system 6. Further, if you choose c for command line at the boot menu, hit TAB for commands, you will see halt as one of the commands. Type halt and hit enter. The system now has no cursor, but has not shutdown. The keyboard is mostly inactive and the screen will not change. However, again the ctrl+alt+del will restart the system. Expected behavior for both of these cases is that the system should perform a system shutdown. It should not simply halt keyboard input. Thanks for your assistance in improving Ubuntu. ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- Halt entry doesn't shutdown pc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220543 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Charlie: he describes grub, not the shutdown command. PS. Can anyone tell me why launchpad mailed me for this? I can't remember I subscribed to this bug. Most likely, this has something to to with APCI. ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = New -- Halt entry doesn't shutdown pc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220543 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Charlie Kravetz: From the GNU GRUB Manual 0.97: (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#halt) [quote] Command: halt --no-apm The command halts the computer. If the --no-apm option is specified, no APM BIOS call is performed. Otherwise, the computer is shut down using APM.

[Bug 220543] Re: Halt entry doesn't shutdown pc
The behavior you describe is the expected when using the halt command. It shuts down all software, but does not shutdown the computer hardware itself. Perhaps instead of halt you could use shutdown -P now. Please see the man shutdown for details. Thank you for making ubuntu better. Feel free to submit any future bugs you may find. ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- Halt entry doesn't shutdown pc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220543 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
