Re: can't shutdown
Hello, XIOR.
In order to find out where the shutdown hangs, it will be helpful to read the last messages on the screen. However, as you know, these messages are hidden away behind the Linux Mint logo screen by default.
So the first step will be switching off the Linux Mint logo until the problem has been analyzed and fixed.
Please, open a terminal window. With root privileges edit the file /etc/default/grub. The name of your editor depends on your desktop environment. Replace gedit by the name of your editor. This will be: gedit on Cinnamon, pluma on Mate, kate on KDE, gedit or mousepad or leafpad on xfce.
Inside the file /etc/default/grub look for the line which reads Remove the words quiet and splash. This will leave 2 double quotes next to each other.
Save the file. Exit from your editor.
Execute the following comandline which will instruct Grub to rebuild its configuration
From next reboot on, there will be no Linux Mint logo during startup, but instead you will see a lot of text messages rushing across the screen, till the MDM login screen will appear.
More important, as we are trying to figure out where your shutdown hangs: when shutting down, text messages will be displayed as well. In case the shutdown hangs, the last messages on the screen might give a hint why.
HTH,
Karl
