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
The
xserver-xorg-video-nouveaupackage was not installed, how else would I remove nouveau?I don’t have an Nvidia GPU so I don’t have any experience with it but a quick search brought me to Nvidias website and the instructions seem to line up with users answers on other forums.
Disable it here https://docs.nvidia.com/ai-enterprise/deployment/vmware/latest/nouveau.html or apparently installing Nvidias proprietary drivers automatically blacklists Nouveau.
lsmod | grep nouveaureturns nothing, so I assume removing my gpu automatically stopped it from being loaded. that sorta rules out nouveau as an issue assuming it’s not present somewhere else.that’s only the X11 “driver” for it. nouveau is built into the kernel, the way to “uninstall” it is to make it not get loaded, by blacklisting it

but this does not seem to be the problem
Agreed,
lsmod | grep nouveaureturns nothing, so I’m not concerned about nouveau or nvidia being the issue here.
