Re: [newbie] M8.1 Shutdown fails
Sorry about the delay, too many things on the go at once. No, completely hung , not even, ctrl+alt+f3] does anything, so it's a complete crash, swithch the power off at source. It then , of course, has to do a complete fsck as part of the bootup. So what's with stopping kheader ? what does this mean , or is it something else really ?
