[SOLVED] Excalibur 6 - cannot shut down from terminal

If I shut down from terminal (command sudo halt), it only halt the system, not shut down, ie LEDs remain lit.

How to shut down the laptop from terminal? Hardware button is working, shut down from desktop environment is working, but terminal command not.

Devuan 5 is ok.

Try sudo shutdown -h now
And man shutdown for details.

NB. man halt lists shutdown in the "See also" section. And look at the -p option.
