<SOLVED> linux mint 18.2 cinnamon 64-bit (beta) shutdown leads to restart
Hi,
I just installed linux mint 18.2 cinnamon 64-bit in place of windows 10 on my laptop. Now every time I press shutdown it will power off but restart in a few seconds. I have tried updating the kernel to 4.8.0-53.1 and disabling the wake-on-lan setting but neither works. Using terminal for `shutdown -h now' doesn't help either. A search online gave me too many different results on modifying the grub file but none of them worked for me so far. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this? I could send further results if you need me to type commands in the terminal. Thanks a lot!

Re: linux mint 18.2 cinnamon 64-bit (beta) shutdown leads to restart
Turn off Fast Boot in Windows. With all the new coziness between the UEFI BIOS and Windows, I'd not trust Fast Boot nor the Secure Boot functions, which have to be turned off anyway for most other OS installs.
All things go better with Mint. Mint julep, mint jelly, mint gum, candy mints, pillow mints, peppermint, chocolate mints, spearmint,....
Re: linux mint 18.2 cinnamon 64-bit (beta) shutdown leads to restart
Try and see if booting with "acpi=force" helps: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=246512&p=1325044#p1322611.
Re: linux mint 18.2 cinnamon 64-bit (beta) shutdown leads to restart
Thanks Spearmint2! Upon installing linux mint I've formatted the hard drive and presumably the windows have been uninstalled. Might there be some remnant settings from windows that I need to take care of?Spearmint2 wrote:Turn off Fast Boot in Windows.

Sounds like its suspending rather than shutting down ? What happens if you shut down from the menu instead of pressing a button ?

what windows useds? Is the drive set for GPT or MBR partitions? Was this laptop an UEFI?caspardavidfriedrich wrote: Thanks Spearmint2!

It's windows 10. It's a Thinkpad s431 and google tells me they are GPT partitions and the laptop was UEFI.what windows useds? Is the drive set for GPT or MBR partitions? Was this laptop an UEFI?

Hi! it's the same whether I use shutdown in terminal, or from the menu, or press the button.sikejsudjek wrote:Sounds like its suspending rather than shutting down ? What happens if you shut down from the menu instead of pressing a button ?

Re: linux mint 18.2 cinnamon 64-bit (beta) shutdown leads to restart
Check the BIOS settings then. There is a setting in many aimed at server use which allows the computer to reboot after a shutdown.

Re: linux mint 18.2 cinnamon 64-bit (beta) shutdown leads to restart
Hi, do you have specific setting in mind? I could find such a thing in BIOS. Some source online says it's the wake-on-lan, but disabling that doesn't help either...

Re: linux mint 18.2 cinnamon 64-bit (beta) shutdown leads to restart
Hi,
My laptop doesn't have an `advanced settings' or similar tabs in its BIOS and I have explored every option without seeing a setting similar to the one mentioned in the two webpages you gave me. Do you think there might be other possibilities? Thanks a lot!
Re: linux mint 18.2 cinnamon 64-bit (beta) shutdown leads to restart
One possibility is that "acpi=force" that you didn't reply to; another is indeed WoL, which you said you disabled, but did not specify how/where.
Re: linux mint 18.2 cinnamon 64-bit (beta) shutdown leads to restart
I tried acpi=force but it didn't help. The WoL setting was changed in BIOS. Maybe I got the wrong place?rene wrote:One possibility is that "acpi=force" that you didn't reply to; another is indeed WoL, which you said you disabled, but did not specify how/where.
Re: linux mint 18.2 cinnamon 64-bit (beta) shutdown leads to restart
As to the ACPI method, unfortunate. WoL in the BIOS frequenty refers to a dedicated header rather than the modern bus-based method -- but in fact probably only on significantly older machines than yours. Before we go bark up that tree any further therefore: googling for your issue leads tocaspardavidfriedrich wrote:I tried acpi=force but it didn't help. The WoL setting was changed in BIOS.

and in turn to
https://www.behnke.io/fedora-17-on-an-a ... -shutdown/.
That is, if you run
Code: Select all
sudo bash -c 'for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/control; do echo on > $i; done'
[EDIT] If it works, this would seem to by the way also indicate that you might be able to tweak a USB wake-up setting somewhere in your BIOS. Maybe that's all you need.
[EDIT] But if it works yet no amount of USB BIOS setting tweaking does, adjusted from the above mentioned sources, create the following as
/etc/systemd/system/haltusbpower.service
and after doing so run sudo systemctl enable haltusbpower
.Code: Select all
[Unit]
Description=haltusbpower
Before=shutdown.target
DefaultDependencies=no
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'for CONTROL in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/control; do echo on >$CONTROL; done'
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=shutdown.target
