Hello, recently I'm experiencing shutdown problems. I installed everything (except /boot) on LVM, using LXDM as the display manager and sawfish as the window manager. Usually I cannot shutdown, the computer gets stuck --- wallpaper is still there, panel is gone, so does other windows; the HDD LED may flash sometimes; neither NUM LOCK nor CAPS LOCK is responding. So I need to press the power button to force a shutdown, and, on next boot, filesystems will be recovering journal, looks like it got stuck before the filesystems unmounted. But this doesn't always happen to me, usually if the computer is used for a long time it will; but if I want to test what is the cause, i.e. startup -> do sth. -> halt, I cannot yet figure out what is the problem. This is my rc.conf (comments grepped out): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- LOCALE="zh_CN.UTF-8" DAEMON_LOCALE="no" HARDWARECLOCK="UTC" TIMEZONE="Asia/Shanghai" KEYMAP="us" CONSOLEFONT= CONSOLEMAP= USECOLOR="yes" MODULES=(acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand tg3) UDEV_TIMEOUT=30 USEDMRAID="no" USEBTRFS="no" USELVM="yes" HOSTNAME="XeCycle" NETWORK_PERSIST="no" DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus @crond @networkmanager) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Thanks for any help. -- Carl Lei (XeCycle) Department of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University OpenPGP public key: 7795E591 Fingerprint: 1FB6 7F1F D45D F681 C845 27F7 8D71 8EC4 7795 E591
