Can't shutdown.
-
On 7.2.2, "shutdown system" and confirm "really shutdown" results only in a reboot of Emulation Station. How can I fix this? Thanks.
-
- On a computer or smartphone, open a browser (can be Chrome or Firefox, etc.)
- in your browser's address bar, type:
http://recalbox/help
- This will open the Recalbox manager, try shutting down the system from this screen.

Thanks but that doesn't work for me either.
Is there any file I could edit to fix this problem? -

Did not work? What happens when you try to shut down the system through Web Manager?

Not without knowing what is causing the problem, I recommend that you do a reset to factory parameters, this option is available through the advanced settings menu, you will not lose any personal files, but you will lose all custom settings.

@zing I could not access Web Manager as the wifi connection is flaky.
I did a full factory reset and the problem persisted.
I'm running off a 512GB usb stick in a RP400.
I can sometimes shut down, it works about 20% of the time, seemingly at random. The rest of the time it just restarts EmulationStation.
If I attempt to restart rather than shutdown, it actually shuts down occasionally - again about 20% of the time.

@dasritter said in Can't shutdown.:

it looks like your problem is with the storage device, have you tested it with another one to see if that happens?

@zing It could be the storage device, I didn't have this problem running from the SD card. That sucks though, I bought the expensive 512GB flash drive just for recalbox...

Before you're sure the problem is with the hardware, make sure the problem isn't just a corrupt file.
