Mageia 8 reboot/shutdowns hangs

Hello everybody.

I have had this issue since for ever, but I thought it would be my personal laptop, a chromebook, I have been installing Mageia 8 on several desktop for my familly and friends and when it is time to shutdown or reboot, process got stuck.

This is very annoying, all of the computers (laptop or desktop) have the same problems, they have SSD disks or HD. Any clue of this? oh, and also I have upgraded the system also.

It might help if you would post the output of
Code: Select all
lspcidrake -v | grep VGA
so we can see for one affected box which PCI product/vendor ID that model has.

FWIW, I'm also using nouveau driver for my GTX970 and I don't see any issues with lockup during reboot/shutdown.
You could try to switch to the proprietary nvidia driver using drakx11 to see if that helps: https://doc.mageia.org/mcc/8/en/content ... ml#XFdrake

I don't see any bugreports regarding lockups so there has to be some other issue, as there are quite a few people who use nouveau and have a default installation.

The first computer
Code: Select all
# lspcidrake -v | grep VGA
Card:NVIDIA GeForce 8100 to GeForce 415: NVIDIA Corporation|GT218 [GeForce 210] [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:10de device:0a65 subv:1462 subd:2291) (rev: a2)


The second :
Code: Select all
# lspcidrake -v | grep VGA
Card:Intel 810 and later: Intel Corporation|TigerLake GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:8086 device:9a49 subv:103c subd:880d) (rev: 01)

Well, the second seems to only have Intel graphics, are you sure it's the same error message as in your screenshot ?

Lets try one at the time. For the first with nvidia I found some sort of solution but sometimes hangs. I modified /etc/systemd/system.conf parameter

Code: Select all
DefaultTimeoutStopSec=2s,


default is 90s. Kinda works sometimes freeze with the following error.

You may want to elaborate on that. It does boot sometimes normally, and sometimes it fails to boot into graphical environment like in the screenshot ?

No, the fails is when shutting down. Sometimes it shutdowns normally and fast after I did the modification to /etc/systemd/system.conf parameter, but sometimes the shutdown got stuck or freeze with that message in the screenshot.

I've not found any other occurence where this blocks shutdown/reboot, only maybe https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=918732#c24 but that is really old.
Other occurences the message appears but no actual issue appears or it happens and X server crashes, which is already shutdown in your case.

You could try adding
Code: Select all
nouveau.runpm=0
and/or
Code: Select all
nouveau.nofbaccel=1
as kernel options, see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_set_u ... el_options
