Attempts to shutdown Xubuntu 12.04.3 hang. I remote in using ssh.<br>
<div lang="x-western">
<div> <br>
Suggestions on how to remotely shutdown and not have a hung
system are sought. (The system was hung for two weeks after I
assumed that a remote shutdown had succeeded when I left town
back in December!)<br>
<br>
I can sudo reboot from a remote ssh session but not do a
shutdown over ssh.<br>
<br>
When try to shutdown over ssh from another PC, afterwards I see,
on the PC that I tried to shutdown, the following:<br>
<br>
First, the GUI / desktop closes and the shutdown progresses to
this (as literally as I could transcribe it, including
"<info>"):<br>
<blockquote><tt>stopping Network connection manager wicd</tt><br>
<tt><br>
Start virtual private network daemon(s)</tt><br>
<tt><br>
No VPN is running</tt><tt><br>
<br>
Asking all remaining processes to terminate</tt><br>
<tt><br>
modem manager [2981]: <info> ModemManager (version
0.5.2.0) starting</tt><br>
<tt><br>
modem manager [2981] Could not get the system bus. Make sure
the message bus daemon is running! Message: Failed to
connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: </tt><tt>No
such file or directory</tt><br>
</blockquote>
This modem-start / no such file sequence repeats twice with
different numbers in square brackets, followed by a final modem
manager starting message.<br>
<br>
Then, a hung PC with no response to ctrl-c or ctrl-d. Had to do
a ctrl-alt-del to restart the system.<br>
<br>
Suggestions??<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
