* I click Shut Down, using KDE
I've never been able to figure out what the heck
the different GUI versions of shutdown actually do, they
often seem broken for some reason. Try typing this
in a terminal instead:
sudo shutdown -h now
If that doesn't shutdown, then there is a real
shutdown problem, otherwise there is a KDE
problem.
The shutdown app in the various desktops should perform clean logouts
from the desktop first (e.g. save current layout, save current session,
etc.), then actually run the shutdown command. The one I have in XFCE
does the job fairly well.
I attempted to take both Rick Stevens' and Tom Horsley's advice as
follows:
1. Log off my KDE session using the GUI.
2. Open a console window using CTRL/ALT/F2
3. Log in as root
4. Enter shutdown -h now
Result, exactly the same as before. System appears to halt properly
except for faint light around the start button, but can't be rebooted
without being reset, messages from systemd-fsck in boot.log.
I'm wondering if perhaps that's something from the BIOS causing that...
like "wake on LAN" or something. You might want to reboot the machine
and verify that the BIOS permits going to a full powerdown state as
opposed to some hibernation state.
