Shutdown and Restart Hangs

[wu-shu]

Hi all,

I am now "using" MX-18.3_x64 for about a month now but have a huge problem.
When I want to shut down or reboot my Laptop it hangs nearly every time. It is a Clevo. Don't know which exactly. If this plays a role I will look it up.
It started when I tried to mount a NFS drive in /etc/fstab. I immediatly removed my mount from /etc/fstab, but the shutdown problem still remains.

I spotted that it hangs on a wireless-tools script somewhere in /etc/networking.
After I deleted it my system did a few shutdowns, but now hangs on the last message before shutdown (<info> system shuts down now) or from time to time on smbd script or other scripts.
Could it be that there is somewhere an infinite loop which prevents my system from shutting down?

How can I track the shutdown process even better?
Hope I must not switch the distro

Just paste, don't format anything.

After I deleted it my system did a few shutdowns, but now hangs on the last message before shutdown (<info> system shuts down now) or from time to time on smbd script or other scripts.

Perhaps try to deactivate/disable any of those added scripts/apps you are starting.
A good candidate for not shutting down properly (sometimes) might be teamviewer daemon. If you don't use teamviewer every day consider to disable the daemon running all the time - and only enable when you need to.
Also have look into mx-tweak ... -> Intel ( don't remember the exact name of that tweak right now )
and this: /etc/modprobe.d/hang-on-shutdown.conf

[wu-shu]

now I uninstalled teamviewer, checked that mx-tweak Intel Driver checkbox and uncommented both lines in /etc/modprobe.d/hang-on-shutdown.conf like described.
Still it hangs on shutdown. What else could I try?

[dolphin_oracle]

if it started with an NFS mount, could you post

Code: Select all

/etc/fstab

and

Code: Select all

/etc/exports

you also mentioned that you deleted a script? what script did you delete?

[fehlix]

What else could I try?

Add this boot option the line starting with linux by editing the Grub-menu (press "e" for edit):

Code: Select all

nouveau.modeset=0

At least it helped me sometimes to stop a hanger with those intel/nvidia duals.

will this be permanent? If no, how can I make it permanent?

The change made manually when editing the GRUB menu is only temporary.
Does it work? Does it stop the shutdown hanger?

... those intel/nvidia duals.

I was just about to write "may it be related to this ? ":

Maybe you'd like to try installing the appropriate Nvidia driver and/or try other kernels ( 5.2.3 newest and 4.9.186 in stable repo). (MX Tools for both)
