  • The response is very clear. Anoyhet user is tunning a process which blocks unelevated shutdown. You can override it with the command privided in the response. Like mentioned in a peer comment, sudo shutdown now would resuly in the immediate shutdown of the system, ignoring any interrupts. If anything else fails, interrupt power. It should start fine.

    It could be a process you are running under a different user (safe), which demands you to shut it down cleanly.

    Linux provides the mechanics to prevent the problem you’re angry about.














  • There’s something to be said for culture and tradition, which have been for a long time the cornerstones of our civilization.

    Everybody has their own opinion on this of course. For me, I feel that culture and tradition are in the way of progress. At some point our current traditions, cultures and values will change, they will evolve. I’m all in for a true multicultural society if there is a clear segregation between state and religion.
