I've had two server oses here: alma linux and debian(currently). On both of them, they will hang when I shut them down from cockpit, and they hang at the end of the shutdown.

Also, it takes an hour to a day to have this issue start. if it's restarted two times in a row quickly, it works perfectly fine for some reason.

What I've tried:

  • setting "acpi=off" and "acpi=force" kernel parameters in grub
  • removing my nvidia gpu(i was using nouveau drivers)
  • changing distros

nothing worked. here are some things that both distros had in common with eachother:

  • systemd
  • cockpit
  • libvirt & qemu
  • docker

does anyone have advice? nothing i've seen online has worked. thank you for suggestions

I had this issue: failed to finalise remaining DM devices. Which led me to here https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/15004 and Skinner927 mentions your issue in that thread

I'd try uninstalling nouveau completely and see if the issue persists for you

    The xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package was not installed, how else would I remove nouveau?

    that's only the X11 "driver" for it. nouveau is built into the kernel, the way to "uninstall" it is to make it not get loaded, by blacklisting it

    but this does not seem to be the problem

    I don't have an Nvidia GPU so I don't have any experience with it but a quick search brought me to Nvidias website and the instructions seem to line up with users answers on other forums.

    Disable it here https://docs.nvidia.com/ai-enterprise/deployment/vmware/latest/nouveau.html or apparently installing Nvidias proprietary drivers automatically blacklists Nouveau.
