ubuntu 8.04 crashes during shutdown

I have this same problem with Kubuntu 8.04 on my Acer Aspire 5100 laptop. Fresh install.
'shutdown -r now' seems to work properly tho.

Hi all,

I have the same problem with my Keysmart notebook (Intel Centrino 1.6). Also I have no problems about shutting down with ubuntu 7.10

Hi.

I have the same problem with ubuntu 8.04 beta i386 on my Toshiba satellite A30 714

hi,

same Problem here. i386, 2500+ Athlon, nforce2.

This also happens sometimes when pressed Ctrl + Alt + F1, i have a i915 in my notebook

same problem with dell 700m. How can we correct this

Same on Dell Latitude D505. It was perfectly working on 7.10.

just found this now, having the same problem, reported the bug there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/222056, sorry for the dupe :(

I aswell have the same issue on my IBM Z60m with a fresh install of kubuntu 8.04. As stated above "shutdown -r now" does the trick.

The command "shutdown -r now" did the trick. all options for powering down dell 700m are working.

After "shutdown -r now", I can restart the system using the menu, but after restarting the system a few times using the menu, the problem appears again!

Are you doing a

sudo shutdown -r now

from a console (within your user session)?

I've tried that, but "crashed" (screen black and computer stop responding) in the same way it does when i click on the power icon and select "shutdown" :(

This one (Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true")

https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/138256/comments/71

fixed for me :)

Did this (Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true") work. In my xorg.conf I do not have the code "driver intel" so I omitted it and typed Option ("ForceEnablePipeA" "true") instead. Is this correct.

I went ahead and tried the code. It seems okay, but I'll continue to test. My question is what does " ForceEnablePipeA" "true" performs

Thanks evcz I tried that and seems to work.

Seems to work here as well, thanks!

       Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "boolean"
              Force the driver to leave pipe A enabled. May be necessary in
              configurations where the BIOS accesses pipe registers during
              display hotswitch or lid close, causing a crash. If you find
              that your platform needs this option, please file a bug against
              xf86-video-intel at http://bugs.freedesktop.org which includes
              the output of 'lspci -v' and 'lspci -vn'.

It's fine to just have that option without specifing the driver... as ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 automatically uses the "intel" one ;)

Now I think we all should do this:

Повторяю еще раз единственное решение проблемы зависания при выключении
компьютера в Ubunu 8.04 редактирование файла halt:
необходимо сделать:
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/halt
и в начале файла под строкой "### END INIT INFO" добавить следующее:
rmmod snd-hda-intel
У меня на десктопе работает четко и без проблем.

Редактирование же /etc/X11/xorg.conf и измениние:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Confirmed Video Device"
Driver "Intel"
Option "NoLogo"
                                            на:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Confirmed Video Device"
Driver "Intel"
Option "ForceEnablePipeA"

приводит только к появлению логотипа nVidia (в моем случае) при загрузке и
все.

i should elaborate that the 'shutdown -r now' is from pressing ctrl-alt-f1 and logging in as root there, not in a console (console causes a freeze as well), and this does NOT fix anything it simply restarts properly that one time.
also, the ForceEnablePipeA does not help. is this only applicable for the intel graphic chips? i have (unfortunately) an ati chip - the xpress 1100 (however, linux detects it as a 200m).
also, as others have stated, ubuntu 7.10 worked fine (along with 7.04, and i believe i had 6.10 installed at one point even).

Ok, repeat again for english speakers.
You have to edit file in command terminal and type:

sudo gedit /etc/init.d/halt

and in the top of the file under line "### END INIT INFO" you have to type:

rmmod snd-hda-intel

and then save a fille, and then at last you can shutdown the computer (on my computer that works perfectly)

editing file xorg.conf and adding "ForceEnablePipeA" brings nothing except you will see a logo of a grafic card vendor during a boot.

And last advise: don"t use notebooks!!!, they are useless (if you can).

> editing file xorg.conf and adding "ForceEnablePipeA" brings nothing except you will see a logo of a grafic card vendor during a boot.

In my case enabling "ForceEnablePipeA" worked fine and I don't see the logo of the graphics card vendor during a boot.

> And last advise: don"t use notebooks!!!, they are useless (if you can).

I wonder why you said that...

On my dell 700m I used the "ForceEnablePipeA" and it worked fine. I looked at the previous comment and thought that made sense: since the computer was crashing and your editing the halt file. Anyways I tried it and it worked. However, at times when i shut down i see a white vertical line prior to the shut down process. Any hints

Do the creators of Ubuntu look ever on thees pages or they work only for purchased supports?

there are a lot of motivations for a computer to hang during the shutdown...

for ppl running on intel graphic chip the problem might be related to the forceenablepipea... for others might be other things (like people on ati!)

to get a "confirm" that's a problem in the intel driver, just try to do a ctrl + alt + f1 while being logged on... if it crashes (without doing a shutdown!) that's not related to the shutdown itself :P

@Ruslan my laptop is taking 25w from the power network while doing the exact same things that my high end desktop does for most of the day (browse the web and the like)... but the desktop is taking 200w to do the same things :D
My advice is: use the laptop everytime you can :P

On my desktop nothing helped except adding to file /etc/init.d/halt (editing)
rmmod snd-hda-intel in the beginning of a file (under "### END INIT INFO" ).

I have reinstalled with Ubuntu 8.04 32bit and 64bit.

Now the shutdown process works fine (except kde4 ;)

Well, I have reinstalled Ubuntu 8.04 32bit three times, always problems with shutdown process.

It is a case also with ATI's proprietary driver too.

Also ctrl+alt+backspace crashes X, stucking it in the middle of logout...ONLY ctrl+alt+delete then can restart/shutdown the computer..

This bug come up to me also. But before it came I had installed ATI accelerated graphics driver with Hardware Drivers Manager.

On my desktop it crushes before and also after installing nVidia driver. Last update of Ubuntu 8.04 have not changed the situation.

Using Kubuntu 8.04 on Asus G1S laptop

For me works:
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/halt
and in the top of the file under line "### END INIT INFO" you have to type:
rmmod snd-hda-intel

but shutdown process is too long.

Where exactly do I place the modified line in the xorg.conf file? My file looks like this:

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device"
 Driver "intel"
 BusID "PCI:0:2:0"

Do I place <<<Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true">>> before or after the BusID?
Any help is appreciated. First time Ubuntu user.

Can you reproduce this bug with a supported Ubuntu version? Thank you!
