I solved the problem: |
48 |
|
49 |
/etc/slim.conf has the |
50 |
|
51 |
daemon = no |
52 |
|
53 |
flag, so the boot process seems optically ok but hangs right |
54 |
after slim hast started. |
55 |
Shutting down the system tries to stop services/processes/action, |
56 |
which never has been started...which fails in a hang. |
57 |
|
58 |
I dont know exactly...but...if that flag is the default configuration |
59 |
when installing slim I would suggest to change it to |
60 |
|
61 |
daemon = yes |
62 |
|
63 |
to prevent users like me to spend the weekend in searching for a |
64 |
problem in the shutdown process. |
