[SOLVED] Fresh Install - Kubuntu 18.04 64Bit Not Shutting Down Cleanly?

[JeZ-l-Lee]

Hi,

I did a fresh install of Kubuntu 18.04 LTS 64Bit.
Everything seems OK, but when I try to reboot or shutdown
the Kubuntu does not shut down cleanly?

Hope someone can help with this issue.
Just let me know what information you need, thanks!

You need to tell us what you mean by "does not shut down cleanly". Exactly what is happening? What steps are you taking to shut down?

Hi,

When I initiate a reboot or a shutdown, the Kubuntu logo is show for over 4 minutes before reboot/shutdown happens.
If I pull up the console, it shows a "stop job" for something I don't recognize.

Where would I find the shutdown log on Kubutu?
I can post it here.

Thanks!

Show the exact message. Maybe someone else will understand it!

Seems to be related to my Win 10 virtual machine.
If I boot up the system and don't open Win 10 VM the system properly shuts down.
But, if I boot the system and then open Win 10 VM the system does not properly shut down?
Weird...

I assume you shut down the Win10 VM (and exit VirtualBox, or whatever) before shutting the host system down? I'm a bit of a pedant that way, as I manually close all open applications prior to rebooting or shutting down the system even though I shouldn't need to I guess.

The following script solves above issue with VMWare Player Win 10 virtual machine:
(the VM would freeze Linux host on shutdown)

#!/bin/sh  
     
   #export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=force  
     
   mount |grep "/home/jlp/vmware on /home/jlp/vmware" > /dev/null  
     
   if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then  
     
     sudo mount -o multithreaded -t fuse.bindfs /home/jlp/vmware /home/jlp/vmware > /dev/null  
     
     if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then  
     
       echo "Bindfs mount failed. Please check if bindfs is correctly installed."  
     
       exit 1  
     
     fi  
     
   fi  
     
   vmplayer "$@"  
     
   sudo umount /home/jlp/vmware > /dev/null  
     
   exit 0
