Shutdown-halt

[vidtek]

Sorry to bring this up yet again, there still seems to be no definitive answer to this issue.

I have a new one- anybody seen this?

Code: Select all

tony@linuxmint ~ $ sudo systemctl shutdown -P now
systemctl: invalid option -- 'P'

This started happening after I'd tried umpteen "solutions" to the shutdown problem. Luckily I have a clone of the system ssd before I started mucking around with all these various solutions, I'll go back to that one.

Still having shutdown issues, I firmly believe it has to do with hardware drivers as I have 2 machines both running 18.2 Sonya, one shuts down perfectly every time, the other never does.

Hardware of machine which shuts down perfectly:
Gigabyte Z68XUD43B i7 3700K 16gb ram DDR3 1800mb 4.25tb 180ssd GTX450 Hauppauge HR2210 Dual tuner 64-bit Mint18.2. Sonya/W10 dual boot BE/FE Homerun dual network tuner.

Hardware of machine which never shuts down properly:
Asus Strix Z270E i7 Kabylake 7700K 16gb ram DDR4 3000mb 8.25tb 250ssd GTX960 TBS 6205 quad tuner 64-bit Mint 18.2 Sonya/W10 dual boot Master BE/FE Homerun dual network tuner.

systemctl: invalid option -- 'P'

Specific to the error, it appears the -P option is being interpreted by systemctl, not shutdown as I believe you're intending.

Wouldn't sudo shutdown -P now suffice?

Code: Select all

sudo shutdown -h 0

has always worked for me.

Joe-

doh-- been stuffing around with this so much now you are right of course, systemctl is interpreting it.

Thanks mate.

Dcrowder- Ubuntu variants are supposed to use the -P not the -h as a command modifier. check this: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ACPI_Wakeup this bit:
Shut down your computer and see if it comes back up in ~5 minutes.

sudo shutdown -h now (in Ubuntu 10.4 "sudo shutdown -P now" (-h may cause system to restart))
