i fixed the fstab error but that didn't help.
at some point i shut down through terminal with 'sudo shutdown now' and it went back to the recovery screen and asked me to enter root password (or control+D) and then it just shows a blinking cursor. i typed in 'poweroff' and that did the trick. once 
now the above work around stopped working and it just tells me it can't quit the slim manager, whatever the hell that is.
this installation is only a couple months old and this problem might be about two weeks old.
thinking of just wiping everything and going with another distro entirely

normal shutdown through GUI doesn't work.
i have to manually force shutdown. i have lost some data doing this, and it's been super annoying.
i go to logout menu and hit shutdown, then screen goes black then it shows a bunch of text data, like unmounting, some errors, and various processes then the text says the name of "[computer name] login:" and then a blinking cursor. That's it. Nothing I type in has any effect whatsoever, and it doesn't finish shutting down even after like 1 hour.
i have latest Devuan installed, running an X1 Carbon Gen1.
i can post a link to a photo of the screen, because obviously can't do a screenshot
