Mint 13 not shutting down cleanly - "hard lockup"
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2012 11:42 pm
I am 4 hours into my Linux Mint 13 experience. Am still configuring and calibrating things. I thought I'd ask about an early problem I am having.
On most occasions when I 'shut down' or restart Linux, things do not happen as expected. Instead I get a black screen with white text indicating that Linux is still trying to kill off some processes. The system never recovers from this, so I manually turn off the computer with the power switch.
Is there any way to find a log file of these errors to share with you? I have spotted some (possibly) pertinent information including:
(and CPU 1, 2 and 3).
Pulseaudio is also being mentioned as a possible cause for the fault.
Let me know if this is an issue, and how I can help you diagnose the problem.
