13.04 reboot from terminal

  • 772

when I try to reboot my system from the terminal it down't work. I type

sync
sudo reboot now

and this is supposed to write the cache to disk, the n reboot. Instead it closes my Xwindows, and leaves me at a shell command that ends with #.

Is this expected behavior?

reboot

  1. This is not expected behavior, and may be coming from a third-party hardware driver.

    With the reboot command, you can try the -p option or the -f option if it is not shutting down all the way.

    Also, you don't need to run sync before reboot; reboot will run sync automatically!

  2. You could attempt shutdown -r now.
