HP a6400f desktop not shutting down completely on MX Linux 23?
by 640rider from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FJQT)
After over a decade of ignoring this machine because of poor performance I've finally come to the point of making a few changes.
The E2200 processor has been swapped out for a E5800, a Quadro K2000 has been install as well as 4 one GB DDR2 RAM cards installed.
Near E-waste at the time of purchase with Vista installed this was one of the major turning points for me in becoming a Linux user and as of now this machine has completely turned around to being a functional machine that I have never seen operate so smooth and seamlessly.
Sure it's never going to content with Blender rendering or even some simpler multi-core tasks but a fine administrative office mule she's become!
One hitch, she hangs on shutdown with either a grey screen with text of most recent and previously a black screen. I've tried multiple syntax prompts and nothing completely turns this machine off other than a hard stop power button press for 10 seconds or so.
I'm hoping for a little clarification and opinions of this thread that I've found that seems apropos to me anyway. The two lines of context mentioned should just be deleted? I'm probably being over hesitant as I'd hate to see a reversal in the progress made with this machine. link below and thank you

It's what I consider fairly well set up with a mounted drive for Timeshift as well as 10.6 GB partitioned swap space.

The extra drives shown are from a failed drive complete crash in an LVM configuration, there's only the sda and sdb with the later being the Timeshift storage drive.
