Can't shutdown the computer
i cannot shutdown my computer through GUI or CLI when i put the command Code:
shutdown -P/-r now or press the shutdown button it goes to the login prompt and stays like that afterwards, so i press CTRL+ALT+delete (which works) but that only restarts it and closes processes like winbind and apache ---------- Post updated at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous update was at 01:22 AM ---------- i m using mint 13 OS kernal 3.2.0 |

I'm not familiar with your specifc distribution but talking in generic Unix terms....... Try giving the kernel a direct command instead of via a script of any kind, login as root and then: Code:
init 0 or, if your hardware supports the power-off function: Code:
init 5 to shutdown the kernel and power off the hardware. |
