Lenovo legion y530 15h intel i5h.
Not able to reboot or shutdown using desktop app.
Problem with terminal cmd inxi.
Only inxi works, it does not with parameters.
What is the error message you get when executing inxi with parameters?
When you cannot reboot or shutdown what exactly did you do and what exactly happens?
So you go to your menu choose shutdown and it does not do anything? Or it does turn off the graphical user interface and you get stuck somewhere else?
Inxi responds only typing:
inxi (that’s all)
if i add parameters like inxi -F or -G or others it get stuck then i must close terminal window.
About reboot or shutdown i do nothing but after booting.
It stuck with keyboard dead. Must force shutdown laptop.
Thank you.
That is weird indeed. I can only imagine inxi trying to get some information about your hardware and cannot get it to the point it crashes.
That reboot and shutdown leaves you without a working keyboard when you turn on the device again is pretty weird. Or did you mean it does nothing and does not react on key presses after you press shutdown or reboot?
All in all I assume the system has problems with your hardware. Can you tell us which hardware you have?
Maybe installing a new kernel from debian backports can help you as it usually supports a bit more modern hardware.
To do so you need to go to synaptic and software sources and make sure that the debian buster backports repo is marked active. Reload the package list in synaptic and install the linux-image-5.4.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 package.
After that try rebooting and see if it works better with the new kernel.
Thank you Leszek,
i mean keyboard does not react at all and i must do a hard shutdown.
I’ll post the inxi -F report using another distro but later on.
Good idea to install a new kernel, will try later.
I’ll let you know, good day.
I think the main issue is coming from the implementation Lenovo uses for its hybrid Intel + Nvidia chip combination.
It seems you really need to either use the one or the other to avoid issues.
According to the post setting the graphics option in BIOS to UMA will solve the reboot/shutdown issues.
However you will then loose the ability to use the Nvidia catrd.
Another thing you could try is setting the graphics to Discrete and installing the official nvidia driver.
See Debians Wiki for how to do that: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
If you don’t need the Nvidia card and can life with the Intel card I would recommend only using it for now.
Well the bios of my lenovo legion y530 does not support graphics option.
I mean cannot change settings at all.
Can try installing the debian official nvidia driver.
Thank you.
