Have been using antiX 13.2 for quite awhile now without any problems. But when i try to close down the system all i get is the following:
[ 727.463091] System halted

I then have to pull the plug out of the power socket.

What happens if you use in AntiX root terminal

Code: Select all

shutdown -h now
Also. Make sure hal is un-installed if running systemd.

To check if system.d is installed

Code: Select all

inxi -Ixxx
I am on my MX-14 install right now so

Code: Select all

$ inxi -Ixxx
Info:      Processes: 121 Uptime: 36 min Memory: 346.1/1622.5MB 
           Init: SysVinit v: 2.88 runlevel: 5 default: 5 
           Gcc sys: 4.7.2 alt: 4.6 
           Client: Shell (bash 4.2.371 running in xfce4-terminal) inxi: 2.1.28
shows me
Init: SysVinit v: 2.88
Which means system.d is not installed.

if system.d was installed it would show me"Init: systemd v: 204" instead.

Use sudo & enter 'poweroff' - it will then close down & turn the power off.
