[SOLVED] Rpi doesn't turn off.

Postby MattScherbatsky » Tue Aug 07, 2012 7:57 am

I try "shutdown -h 00", "poweroff" and "halt" but my RaspberryPi restarts. Why?

How long has it been doing that?
I had something like this for a while, if X was run X wouldn't quit, fixed upstream with the kernel

Make sure your updated with pacman -Syu and then sync and reboot
Run top to see what's running before you halt
If you start the rpi, login, then immediatly halt, does it do that still?

I've reinstalled "raspberrypi-firmware" and now everything works!

Thank you

Turn off equals only red led on.

I got the reboot-only issue too, so I supposed it was a device that couldn't be shutted down.
I used to logout then remove usb power cable to shut it down.

Edit: anyway, since now I know that it can be shutted down, after that how do I power it on again with no board buttons?
Am I supposed to do it from keyboard?

Try to reinstall "raspberrypi-firmware" package and (as root) type "halt" command or "shutdown -h 00" or "poweroff".

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MattScherbatsky', 'T')ry to reinstall "raspberrypi-firmware" package and (as root) type "halt" command or "shutdown -h 00" or "poweroff".

No need to reinstall, I simply tried again and it worked; now I'd like to know how to turn it on again.
