Yea, that's odd but the case on my pc.
If i do (as root) poweroff the pc just reboots. If i do halt -t now the pc also reboots. So, now i pull the plug as soon i a hear my motherboard beep indicating a new boot cycle to get if off ^_^ that is certainly no way but the only way for me. What might be of difference is that i have the testing repo enabled (was for gnome 2.28 a few months ago). I don't know steps you can try.. perhaps this helps? [mark@Mark-Arch ~]$ which shutdown /sbin/shutdown [mark@Mark-Arch ~]$ [mark@Mark-Arch ~]$ which halt /sbin/halt [mark@Mark-Arch ~]$ [mark@Mark-Arch ~]$ which reboot /sbin/reboot [mark@Mark-Arch ~]$ Nothing strange there as far as i can see.. |
This task depends upon

shutdown -h now
O and shutting down through KDE or Gnome (just figured that out btw) also works fine.
But shutting down as root, for example when i'm logged in through ssh, is not working and is rebooting my pc.
* Check BIOS settings.
* Can try differents options for acpi in kernel command line.
* Can try (with caution, previous check Asus forums for issues) latest BIOS firmware for your motherboard. Problems like this is directly related with bad ACPI tables.
We can't do much more here. :(
- i have the latest bios firmware
- It used to work just fine and i bet it works fine again when i reinstall archlinux but due to a LOT of settings and applications and a otherwise perfectly working archlinux i'm not about to reinstall it at the moment
- With KDE shutdown works as shutdown. (so i think that rules out bios settings)
- With gnome it's uncertain. can't test it right now since i removed nearly all of gnome
- With root running poweroff or halt -t now just results in a reboot
So, poweroff does work just not for the root user..
can you see this when do a shutdown?
The system is going down for system halt NOW!
INIT: Switching to runlevel: 0
and this when do a reboot?
The system is going down for reboot NOW!"
INIT: Switching to runlevel: 6
INIT: Switching to runlevel: 0
reboot
INIT: Switching to runlevel: 6
anything else i can test?
init 1
(enter your root password)
killall5
dmesg -n 8
umount -a
poweroff -f
the init=/sbin/bash method didn't work as i couldn't type anything.. the numlock light would just go on with a keypress and off with a release and that's it.
Now i have another odd issue.. poweroff -f works BUT poweroff (without the -f) just reboots my pc... perhaps this narrowed down the issue?
poweroff -f, is for bypass init (stop programs, umount filesystems, etc), so using in bad way...
you have changed your rc.shutdown? because this is the same the command that are executed as last step in init0
/sbin/poweroff -d -f -h -i
and worked for you.
Could you send me the default for that file?
Anyway you have it on pacman cache, so can compare with your current installed file.
plymouth for example puts a file there and makes my computer (msi wind u100) reboot instead of shutdown, I had to comment the "if" bloc to make shutdown works again.
