Ubuntu 16.04 kernel 4.5.4-040504-generic
Whenever I try to reboot or power off I receive:
Failed to power off system via logind: Transaction is destructive.
This began at the same time that I started encountering a prompt at the login menu saying something along the lines of Enter encryption key for (swap partition) ... or not!
When viewing systemctl list-jobs
there are three different units running:
[email protected] start running
390 dev-mapper-cryptswap1.swap start waiting
391 dev-mapper-cryptswap1.device start running
The status of poweroff.target
is Active: inactive (dead)
as well as for reboot.
Also, the UUID for my swap partition as listed under blkid
, matches that of the one listed in the fstab
file.
I'm not sure if these are connected issues or not, they seemed to pop up at the same time after issuing
apt-get update/upgrade
two days previous to this posting.
The workaround to this that I have found is running:
ps aux | grep suspend
And then using the PID listed to issue(in the non-graphical shell, ctrl-alt-f1):
sudo kill -9 <PID>
After first entering:
sudo service lightdm stop
Finally:
sudo shutdown -h now
seems to power off the machine. It may be fine for a boot or two, but then the same problem occurs.
dmesg
isnt being very helpful because I'm running on a surface pro 3 and the wifi is still being inconsistent filling up the prompt with continuous enable/disable
messages. Any thoughts?
*Edit: My root partition is encrypted
