Sabayon 5.3 stuck on gray shutdown screen

Post by nickolas360 »

I am running Sabayon 5.3 (x86) in Virtualbox (Windows Host) and I just logged myself out and then pressed the "Restart" button. When trying to shut down, the system got stuck on the gray shutdown screen. How do I fix this problem?

@nickolas360,

Force the shutdown by clicking on the X in the upper right corner and selecting power off the machine.
Next you will need to figure out why it froze.
You might want to install Ubuntu for a while to familiarize yourself with Linux. It's a lot easier.
