I’ve had two server oses here: alma linux and debian(currently). On both of them, they will hang when I shut them down from cockpit, and they hang at the end of the shutdown.

Also, it takes an hour to a day to have this issue start. if it’s restarted two times in a row quickly, it works perfectly fine for some reason.

What I’ve tried:

  • setting “acpi=off” and “acpi=force” kernel parameters in grub
  • removing my nvidia gpu(i was using nouveau drivers)
  • changing distros

nothing worked. here are some things that both distros had in common with eachother:

  • systemd
  • cockpit
  • libvirt & qemu
  • docker

does anyone have advice? nothing i’ve seen online has worked. thank you for suggestions

    Says reboot, are you issuing a reboot or a shutdown poweroff? Entering sleep state 5 shout be power off right?

      I click the reboot button on cockpit, which issues a shutdown --reboot command as root. I agree that sleep state S5 is powered off. From the acpi docs:

      A computer state where the computer consumes a minimal amount of power. No user mode or system mode code is run. This state requires a large latency in order to return to the Working state. The system’s context will not be preserved by the hardware. The system must be restarted to return to the Working state. It is not safe to disassemble the machine in this state.

      This likely means my system is failing to reach that s5/g2 state.

        If you ssh login directly and issue same command, not In cockpit interface, does it react the same?
