[Bug 1427672] Re: System doesn't power off when shutting down

 

Indeed rsyslog will stop too early. You might have better luck with
actually looking at the journal from the last boot, with

  sudo journalctl -b -1 > /tmp/journal.txt

and attaching that.

> poweroff from a vt (as opposed to a debug shell, so there should have
been an Active=yes session) worked.

poweroff not working from a debug shell is worrying. The debug shell
runs as root, and poweroff is supposed to work fine there. What happens
exactly?

Title:
  System doesn't power off when shutting down

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. Open the session indicator (cog in top-right)
  2. Shut Down...
  3. Shut Down
  4. The monitors go blank
  5. The system doesn't power off (waited > 5 minutes)

  Things which do work

   - poweroff -f
   - Changing to a debug shell and shutting down using login1.Manager PowerOff

  I can't use the system-shutdown/ functionality since shutdown doesn't
  get that far. I can't SSH in since network is down. I can't switch VT
  when it's in this state so I'm not able to interact with the system. I
  can't see anything on the monitors since they are turned off.

  Any tips on how to get useful debugging information? I'll attach
  journalctl from the previous boot but the last message is the journal
  shutting down so it's not that useful I don't think. Also syslog.
