Lmde hangs when shutting down
Since I installed lmde in an old toshiba satellite laptop, I never reached to shut it down totally. It allwys hangs somewhere. First it was when shutting down samba daemon; but las time it was when shutting down avahi daemon.. It freezes and I have to use the power button. Any ideas?

Re: Lmde hangs when shutting down
have you checked your log files?
Either > Menu > System Tools > Log File Viewer then possibly user.log, but not sure
or you could search from the command line.
you might substitute shut with halt, samba or avahi (you'll probably get a large output from avahi)
You should get something like

Code: Select all
sudo cat /var/log/*.log | grep shut
