LMDE hangs at shutdown/reboot

[untamed]

Hi all,
I recently installed LMDE on my laptop and I'm noticing the problem that the os is freezing at shutdown/reboot.
I already made some debug and this is heppening when I have the wireless connection active.
If I'm cable connected (wireless disabled) the system is NOT hanging at shutdown/reboot.
The wireless module I'm using is iwlagn.
This is what I see in the logs before reboot:

Oct 23 17:17:17 tumulilande kernel: [ 211.103240] r8169 0000:0c:00.0: eth1: link up

Any ideas?

yes, it's really that problem...

I wish I could help you. It's a very annoying problem.
The workaround for me is to manually unmount the NFS shares before reboot/shutdown, or to disable network manager and use the interfaces file instead.
I would like to report it as a bug, but I don't know which package is causing the problem.

Yes, it's really annoying and manually umount before each shutdown/reboot is really uncomfortable.
I'm thinking to replace the reboot and shutdown commands with a script that umounts first and then reboots/shuts down... but I would like a bug revision...

Hi folks,

I have solved this problem on my laptop running LMDE using the instructions here:

http://whereofwecannotspeak.wordpress.c ... or-reboot/

I know it says Samba, but it works for nfs.

The idea is that you make a symbolic link to umountnfs & run it earlier in the shutdown process. Run this as root.

Code: Select all

ln -s /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh /etc/rc0.d/K15umountnfs.sh
ln -s /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh /etc/rc6.d/K15umountnfs.sh

This will create two symbolic links to the umountnfs.sh script, one in runlevel 0 (shutdown) and one in runlevel 6 (reboot). The links have a “K” prefix to let the init system know that the script should be called with “stop” as an argument, and they have a priority of 15 to ensure that they are run before avahi-daemon and dhcdbd are stopped, which I believe was what was causing my problem.

I hope that this is helpful.

Edit

Uh-oh! this worked once, now shutdown & reboot are stalling again. I have deja vu, I seem to recall this being an issue in LMDE before that was resolved (with an upgrade?). Right now I can shut down safely with Alt+SysRq+R+S+E+I+U+O,
reboot with Alt+SysRq+R+S+E+I+U+B.

Best wishes for 2012
