[Bug 880240] Re: system doesn't turn off if sudo halt is given
Note that this is the result of a deliberate upstream behavior change as described in bug #532366. I think it's appropriate to extend upstart's halt implementation to respect /etc/default/halt, but possibly only as a distro patch rather than in upstart upstream. ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Triaged ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: High = Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880240 Title: system doesn't turn off if sudo halt is given To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/880240/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 880240] Re: system doesn't turn off if sudo halt is given
Correction: in sysvinit, /etc/default/halt is a config file for the /etc/init.d/halt script only, which uses it to decide whether to pass '-p' to halt. So this is already supposed to have the intended effect; and if I invoke 'halt -d -f -i -p -h' directly, it does power off the system. Likewise if I invoke 'sh -x /etc/init.d/halt stop', I see the correct command being run and the system powers off. So something is going awry here specifically wrt /etc/rc0.d/S99halt when called via the 'halt' command. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880240 Title: system doesn't turn off if sudo halt is given To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/880240/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 880240] Re: system doesn't turn off if sudo halt is given
Ok, I've worked my way all the way through this bug now, and I have to conclude this is behavior we can't/shouldn't change. - The 'shutdown' command has three options: '-h' (halt or power off), '-H' (halt), and '-P' (power off). - The 'halt' command maps to -H, by design. - The 'poweroff' command maps to -P, by design. - The /etc/default/halt configuration *only* affects the behavior when neither -H nor -P has been specified. - There is no way to make 'halt' by itself map to 'poweroff', without making it impossible to do a real 'halt'. - These are all standard options that shouldn't be changed. So I'm closing this bug report as 'wontfix'. The current behavior is inconsistent with previous upstart behavior, but that behavior was buggy. The current behavior is correct, and I'm afraid people will just have to learn that 'halt' doesn't mean what you were led to believe it means. If you want the system to poweroff, you need to run either 'shutdown -h now', 'halt -p', or 'poweroff'. All three commands work. 'halt -p' is the shortest and probably the most compatible with existing muscle memory. ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880240 Title: system doesn't turn off if sudo halt is given To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/880240/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 880240] Re: system doesn't turn off if sudo halt is given
Had to change all my scripts to sudo poweroff. This is kinda embarrassing. What's the use of a halt-command that doesn't actually turn off the machine? Who needs a computer that's ready for poweroff but still running? I believe that the halt-command made more sence before than it does now.

[Bug 880240] Re: system doesn't turn off if sudo halt is given
halt -p also works here. Nevertheless I think this should be fixed! halt always used to power off the computer. Now, if one forgets the -p when shutting down a remote computer ends up with a remote frozen machine.

[Bug 880240] Re: system doesn't turn off if sudo halt is given
On all the machines I have tested so far with Precise, running halt by itself only halts the machine but doesn't power it off. However, running halt -p powers it off just fine. Was this change documented somewhere or is it a true bug? /etc/defaults/halt has the same POWEROFF entry on 10.04 as 12.04 yet 10.04 halts and powers off just fine if issued the halt command. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880240 Title: system doesn't turn off if sudo halt is given To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/880240/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

# shutdown -h -P now
executed as root from serial console
as described on Bug #958838 (which may or may not be same bug - has been merged
with this one in any case)
results in system hung / locked up (imperfectly halted?), but not powered down,
whereas same/equivalent works fine with 10.04 LTS,
I retested this on both the released production 12.04 LTS and 11.10:
Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot - Release i386 (20111012)
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin - Release i386 (20120423)
from the CD ISOs, and the results on both of those are nearly identical, about
the only noteworthy difference seen,
is in the case of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin - Release i386
(20120423), some additional output/diagnostics
are seen on the console just after the output of:
umount: /run/lock: not mounted
but before the system freezes (kernel panic?) which are seen on 12.04 LTS but
not seen with 11.10:

[ 576.024203] ata2.00: status: { ERR }
In either case, both are quite stuck at that point, and system requires
physical reset or power off to continue, and that issue does not exist in 10.04
LTS.
