Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Recent builds of Puppy Linux have not shutdown properly they are Devuanpup chimaera build 9.7.0 and Cagepup by Dimkr.

Ends with this screen as attached.

Have to press down the powerbutton for a bit to shutdown.

Cagepup is experimental build to test out using Wayland rather than X.Org.
So do not try to use it for a normal Puppy.
It is only to see how things will work using Wayland.
Probably never going to be a full working Puppy version.

Devuanpup chimaera you need to report this in it's topic:

@darry19662018 - I have the same issue with kernels after 5.8, with my realtek codec. You can fix this for this pc with the following addition to the end of the linux/kernel line in grub.cfg/syslinux.cfg:
modprobe.blacklist=snd_hda_codec_idt
On reboot, should shutdown ok.

Thanks Ozsouth,

Added to end of kernel line in Grub4Dos menu and Josejp2424's DevuanPup is shutting down normally.

Thanks Mate I would never have known how to fix this without this info.

Regards

Darren

I also have problems with another hp pc. and I have to use kernel 4.9.
thanks @ozsouth

For anyone experiencing these faults, look for the RIP: line in the crash output (see screeny in first post) - will tell you which module caused crash. If multiple modules, list with a comma between them, in format as per blacklist fix:

NOTE: Can't guarantee blacklisted modules won't be missed. If so, earlier kernel may be needed.

ozsouth,

How about you making a Topic, on your fix, in How-To->Boot section of forum?

My fix method is explained in more detail here: viewtopic.php?p=26411#p26411
