For the last 3 evenings, I’ve ended up with a login prompt instead of the machine shutting down. I have given it time to power off but no joy, its always ended up in me pressing the button.
I have a few questions.
are you shutting down from the command line or from within one of the desktops?
do you know what the shutdown command being used is? what extra parameters ar4e being given?
In my case i use shutdown from within KDE4. I can see by using systemsettings what command and parameters are benig used.
There, I see it is /sbin/shutdown -h -P now
That's a bit redundant. Perhaps it needs to be "-H" rather than "-h" ?
What's the opinion of the group?
I used to run "halt -p", but I seem to remember something changing - on Leap for instance, I think that leads to a halt, not a power-off. mybe systemd related.
Be aware that systemd uses finally the kernel API for poweroff and all other commands like halt, reboot, hibernate, and suspend. That is check your hardware as well as the BIOS version and setup of the hardware.
