Re: [ubuntu-uk] Computer restarts on shutdown

2015-02-01 Thread James Morrissey
Hi all,

Following up on this again as the issue persists in 14.10.

To recap: When i go to shutdown my system - through whatever means
(terminal, GUI etc.) - the system restarts. The issue only occurs if i have
suspended the system since last starting the machine. If i have not
suspended, everything shuts down fine.

Problem was in 12.04, 12.10, 13.04, 13.10, 14.04 and now in 14.10. There
was a brief period in 14.04, when things were working, but an update broke
things again.

Something must be triggering this process when i suspend the machine. If
anyone could help me identify it, i would be very grateful.

Thanks,

James.

p.s. running 14.10, 64bit on an Intel Thinkpad x131e.

 Hi all,

 A recent (installed in the last week) update to Trusty has caused this bug
 to reappear.

 To recap: the bug is that if my machine is suspended at some point, when i
 go to shutdown i will get a restart instead. So long as the machine is not
 suspended, i can shutdown normally.

 The problem existed in 12.04., 12.10, 13.04, 13.10 and then was fixed in
 14.04. Now some update has broken things.

 Can anyone help me identify what might have caused the problem?

 Thanks,

 james

 Since people are reflecting on their experiences with Trusty, i thought
 that i would share that an upgrade to 14.04 has solved this problem of my
 machine rebooting on shutdown, after being put into suspend.

 I am very grateful to have this annoying bug fixed, even if i am not sure
 what was causing the problem.

 Best,

 j

   Yeah, i was wondering if someone on here might know what might be
 going
   on
   in the hibernate process (on lid close), that might interfere with
 the
   reboot sequence. I'd be happy to google any things that come to the
   minds of
   anybody on here.
 
  I don't think you mentioned that you use hibernate, unless I missed
 it
  (I am presuming you do mean hibernate rather than suspend).
 Hibernate
  is fraught with problems and I believe it comes under the category of
  'if it works for you then fine, otherwise it is hard luck'.  Do you
  only see the problem if you have hibernated at some point?
 
 
  Sorry, i think i mean suspend, which is activated when i close the
 lid.
 
  So, if at some point since booting the machine, i close the lid,
 then, when
  i go to shutdown, the computer will restart. If i have not shut the
 lid, and
  caused the machine to suspend, then the sutdown will work fine.

 Does it make a difference if you suspend from the system menu and then
 close the lid after it has suspended?


 No, the system still reboots on shutdown, even if i suspend from the
 system menu and don't close the lid. I have not tried turning off 'suspend
 on lid close' and closing the lid to see what that does.

Does it actually shutdown and restart (so you see the BIOS startup
screen) or does it just logout and back in again?  Or possibly not
even logout, just tries to logout, fails,and goes back to desktop.

Have a look in /var/log/syslog to see if there are any clues.  Note
the time that you start to shutdown so you can find the right place in
the log.

Try it with a normal shutdown and a failed one and see if there are
any obvious differences.  The order of messages will vary from time to
time as they come from multiple threads so it can be tricky to find
differences.
