Reboot UI versus command line

Am I the only one where reboot works from the UI , but fails to reboot (it does halt) when using reboot?

You are not the only one !

I’m curious, does this work?

reboot -r

(It’s not the same as restarting the system.)

reboot -r does as reboot and doesn’t complete

grahamperrin · May 22, 2025, 5:22pm

In what way is the result incomplete?

TIA

I’ll take a picture or vidéos to show tomorrow

I’ve poster two vidéos at Index of /nomadbsd/ .
You’ll see that reboot/reboot -r never finished, at some point one needs to press the power button.

If you need more information, files to understand débug, please ask.
