greetings… almost every time i shut down my system it gets hung up… the first of the problems was when the wlan was being taken down so i started disabling the wireless before i shutdown… this seems to work fine because it hasnt gotten hung up at this stage since… but this is an extra to have to do before shutting down and i was wondering if anyone knows of a work around for it…
the second problem is that the system freezes when trying to shutdown the hal daemon… ive been doing some reading on this and it seems that the hal daemon is necessary to run so again i wonder if anyone knows of a fix for this…
the third place the system hangs when shutting down is when it attempts to clear the swap files… this is actually a new development and has only happened once… as did when the system froze on my last reboot when it was taking a snapshot of the system…
i have tried shutting down in several different ways - like ending session first or logging out of my user but this doesnt seem to help… and i only seem to encounter the above problems if my system is on for a long period of time – if i boot up and shut down immediately it seems to go right off… but if im on for any length of time i inevitably have to hold down the power button to shut my computer off…
i am running suse 11.0 on a gateway (dual booting with windows) with an amd64 processor…
i know that these problems can be caused by a million and one different things and could probably take a long time to resolve but any help would be greatly appreciated… thanks… albee
