Hi Chris

I am a new subscriber here and after playing with dyne:bolic 1.2 I have
come back to see the latest and greatest 2.3! It's looking very sweet.
Good for all my hardware so far. But I have this shutdown problem
Stefan described too:

I am happy to bug the problem but thought I would supply the details
you asked for and see if there isn't some simple solution or workaround: perhaps a
tweak of the Xorg.conf file or something?

I disagree with Stefan saying this can be ignored. It causes
unclean umounts and long fsk on startup. Shutdown (or restart) proceeds
as follows:

logger: [*] shutdown the computer
Exiting Syslogd!
Connection to X server lost.
Waiting for X server to shutdown wmaker warning: got signal 15 - exiting...
warning: got signal 1 - exiting...

xinit: unexpected signal 15
_

At which point the system hangs. I tried to ctrl-alt-F2 and login as
root and execute halt -p. This froze on the 'halting kernel processes'
message. I then tried ctrl-alt-backspace (or delete?) and this hung on
'error removing 'dv1394' '.

Hopefully that is helpful info and someone can help.

let me know if you need hardware info or if I should put this through the bug tracker

thanks
