Hello. I'm having the same problems with shutdown. Yesterday, I've choosed "menu/logout/halt" option instead of "menu/logout/shutdown". And problems started to happen: I could not even reboot or shutdown computer, because every time when I wanted to do this, there was a window to unblock session (I have had to enter my user password and there was not even internet connection - it could not be connected via NetworkManager! etc.) For now, a solution is: press "RESET" and next "POWER" button for a few seconds. That's the only way to shutdown computer now. I've decided to try shutdown system via shutdown(8) command but it did not work:
[~]$ shutdown now Failed to power off system via logind: There's already a shutdown or sleep operation in progress [~]$ systemctl list-jobs No jobs running. Anyway, there is not LightDM now! I have to login via "unblock" window mentioned above. And when I want to edit e.g. 'rtkit-daemon.service' file via 'mousepad', there is a WARNING message (** (mousepad:2869): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-*: Connection refused). It happens with every file, that I want to edit etc. Log files contains many entries related to the 'rtkit-daemon' (please see 1.) But this is not important here. I apologize for such a comment, but shutdown issues, started to happen after described situation. I have no idea if it's important, but it started to happen when I choosed - by accident - 'halt' option instead of 'shutdown' during logout. ● Release: 16.04.4 LTS ● Xfce: 4.12 (according to 'xfce4-about' command) Thanks, best regads. ____________________ 1. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rtkit/+bug/1547589 (comment #3) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1441253 Title: hanging suspend job prevents shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1441253/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
