Shutdown problem ...

Post by Alb1 »

Hello, I'm using Linux Mint 18 Xfce with satifaction, but I have a problem: sometimes the shutdown process doesn't come to an end, it hangs on and I have to switch off the PC or push the reset button ... Is there a way to get round this problem? :)

This can happen if there is some unrecoverable hardware error,like system trying to read dvd, and retrying the same because of error. Please get your disk checked for errors.

I have had similar problem with Mint 17.

On one PC it probably was HDD with random failures (Probably, I'm testing it with new HDD).

The second-Notebook, it was a problem with virtualbox dkms package witch was installed by default, even if virtualbox itself was not.
If you don't use viirtualbox uninstall all virtualbox packages.
