`shutdown now` executes poweroff command which in systemd signals manpage documented as: SIGRTMIN+4 Powers off the machine, starts the poweroff.target unit. This is mostly equivalent to systemctl start poweroff.target.
The logs indicate that lxc is sending SIGRTMIN+3 Halts the machine, starts the halt.target unit. This is mostly equivalent to systemctl start halt.target. Note that in addition to above, systemd have more immediate variants for these: SIGRTMIN+13 Immediately halts the machine. SIGRTMIN+14 Immediately powers off the machine. Could you please start the affected containter and try `shutdown --halt now` and check if that hangs as well? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1668049 Title: lxd cannot shutdown container Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I found this issue when working with lxd and submitted a ticket there but the lxc people said it was related to systemd, not lxc. The issue is: I have a container running under lxc/lxd. lxc stop of the container does not work whereas if I execute "shutdown now" inside the container it does stop as expected. The associated lxd ticket is here: https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/2947 The output of journalctl -a is at the end of this message The syslog of that same run can be found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24071244/ and this is the output of ps aux: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.0 0.1 37808 4576 ?

R+ 11:59 0:00 ps aux Note that this may be timing related. If I stop the container immediately after starting things work. If I stop after a minute or so, the stop will not get through. (even not on a 2nd or 3rd attempt). However if I leave the container for a while then a new lxc stop will terminate the container. (this happened after an hour or so). The issue is reproducible but seems to be dependend on what is running inside the container. container runs ubuntu 16.04 on a 16.04 host. systemd --version says: systemd 229 +PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +APPARMOR +SMACK +SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ -LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD -IDN lxc sends SIGRTMIN+3 to systemd to stop. This was apparently discussed here: https://github.com/lxc/lxc/issues/1085 Let me know if more info is needed.
