Re: "could not write bytes: Broken pipe" is message at shutd
This problem went away after the following steps:
Failed step:
Booted into recovery, attempted to use the option to fix broken packages, fail to resolve archive.ubuntu.com, basically failed attempt at upgrading packages.
It-works-now step:
Boot into normal mode.
Open terminal as root, attempt apt-get upgrade (not distribution upgrade), installed whatever bits and pieces it needed, overwriting any older configs with package maintainer's versions.
Log out, no error but some terminal text, log in, log out, no error and also no funky text, just smoothly logs out to the login page.
This system is Mint 13 installed on USB with Cinnamon, now moved to MATE. After that I had the error text, and now after taking these above steps it hopefully will stay gone.

Re: "could not write bytes: Broken pipe" is message at shutd
Is this really an issue?
My laptop with Linux Mint 13 does the same thing, but I don't see that its hurting anything.
I'm not looking into like the deepest levels of the computer but all my stuff is still here and works.
But if this is doing something I am missing could someone let me know
Thanks,
Mike

I already said quite a few times that it is harmless. People are still coming up with fixes but there is really no need for fixing it.

The message itself was harmless, but I also had the computer hanging at shutdown. I think this happened after I unchecked the boxes for playing the Login and System Ready sounds, while using the Login Window applet. I'm using Linux Mint MATE,so
solved the problem.
Code: Select all
dpkg-reconfigure mdm

Hi!
I hope this is the right forum.
I am a newbie at Linux. Just did a fresh install Linux mint 14 MATE x64 at my desktop. Overall I am happy and looking forward to learn more.
At shutdown of my computer an error occur every time and I have to press the off button a longer time to power off.

Re: "could not write bytes: Broken pipe" <--message at shutd
That worked for me too. Thanksandrewdonshik wrote:I seem to have fixed it.
1. Boot into recovery mode
2. Repair broken packages
3. Hit the continue boot button
4. Log in to the desktop
5. Reboot
6. Log in normally
And it's gone!

Re: "could not write bytes: Broken pipe" is message at shutd
I always had the "broken pipe" message with Mint 13 - until I installed the 3.12 kernel. Now it doesn't show up anymore.

Re: "could not write bytes: Broken pipe" is message at shutd
I've been having the "broken pipe" message for ages with Linux Mint and ArchLinux, but it hasn't done anything bad, so I haven't thought about it.
