Hi Fred, thank you for replying The command 'shutdown -hP now' still does not work when run as root. I think i will have to wait for Jessie Stable to be released and then try it. Maybe there is a bug in the Kernel 3.16. [?] Anyone here using the kernel 3.16 ? On Tue, Mar 31, 2015 at 5:26 PM, Fre

Hi Gajadur, The shutdown command someone previously suggested should have been (as root): shutdown -hP now The P option is for power off. This command works on my desktop. Best regards, Fred On 03/31/2015 06:28 AM, Gajadur Dwijesh wrote: Hi Michael, I don't think it is a hardware issue be

Dwijesh, What happens when you shut down from a boot DVD (life CD) Linux ? Like GRML oder some installer disk. www.grml.org If that works then try to install the same kernel. Anyway, does it work from Windows (does the laptop still have that ?), and can you do the Dell hardware check ? Shoul

Hi Michael, The "shutdown -h now" command still does not solve the problem. The system shutdown for a few seconds and then restarts by itself. The 'halt' command does stop the cpu and the screen goes black however the system is still On and i can see the cursor on the top-left of the screen. Tha

Gajadur, There is /etc/default/halt (or so, i'm no more using Debian), you can try to switch to the alternative. Maybe it works... If not, try to find out which command (as root or via sudo, from a terminal) does shut down the machine. For example, "shutdown -h now" should never do a reboot. I

I would suggest debian jessie for best hardware support, especially for a recent notebook. However, take care that many wifi drivers are inside non-free repositories. try with dmesg and lspci to understand the exact chipset/driver you need, than verify with modprobe if the right module has been loa
