Reboot / halt not working Topic is solved

[shlagwuk]

Hello!

I have some trouble updating my raspberry pi 3. When I have to reboot, it does nothing, just hang there…



It's the same thing with halt command…

To have a proper reboot, I have to unplug the raspberry, but the update doesn't apply.

Anything I can do? I tried a few google searches, without any luck…

Hi shlagwuk,



are you really "root" user? Doesn't look like that for me (missing '"#" ). ">" looks like C-shell not like bash.



Can you please try:

Code: Select all

root@dietpi3:~# whoami

Code: Select all

root@dietpi3:~# sudo reboot

# or

root@dietpi3:~# sudo su

# and now

root@dietpi3:~# reboot

# or 

root@dietpi3:~# poweroff

[shlagwuk]

Thanks for your answer!
Yes, I am root, I may have played my PS1 a little bit

Code: Select all

root@dietpi3 ~ > whoami
root

The strange thing is that it was working well before… never had any problem with reboot or halt commands

As I cannot reboot, any change I make with dietpi-config or to /Dietpi/config.txt are note saved… (with reboot -f, it doesn't save )

So I'm stuck into headless mode… anything I can do te get out from headless mode?

Try:

Code: Select all

 sudo su

# and then

reboot

What happens now?

And:
Please a Screenshot from htop:

Code: Select all

htop

Is your bash/terminal running as root?
If so, your SD-card / file system may be corrupt.

Take the first screenshot from DietPi Desktop running x-server or per vnc?

Sorry but insufficient information.

I tried. Nothing… :| I can't try without ssh (on a screen plugged into the pi), because it's stuck in headless mode.

Is your bash/terminal running as root?

Yes, I'm logged with root user.
