Bug 470151

Hmmm... So you try to shutdown the computer and instead of shutting down it reboots, right? When the shutdown fails, do you get any error messages that could be worth reporting?

And autologin is normally disabled? Sounds to me like something strange is happening with gdm (assuming you are using gdm).

Instead of shutting down it starts to shut down then gets stuck. I have to keep ctrl+lt+deleting to get it to continue. I will get you info on where it gets stuck.

autologin is always disabled.

Let's just concentrate on the first problem (which I can reproduce).

poweroff gets stuck. Will post more next time it happens.

Ok.
Just to make sure this bug is correctly categorized; you do use initng right?

Ah, no. Apparently not. Well, init-rg is not installed anyway.

I've installed it now, should I do anything else?

I didn't mean that you should install initng. I simply meant that if you haven't been using initng (which is a alternative to sysvinit or upstart, the systems that starts up your system) the bug is miscategorized. I don't really know where to put it, I'll try with upstart...

Could be upstart. What does the console say when it gets stuck?

Nothing useful. X quits, then I see the console saying something like "system going down for poweroff now!". If I continuously ctrl+alt+del I finally get it to shutdown.

I'll try and get the name of the service it gets stuck on, but I'm not sure that will help - what will?

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
