Hello Backbox team. Not sure if the question is in right place. Please move my thread if it's not.
Here's the problem. Today I made a clean install of Backbox 4 on a 50GB ext4 partition. Everything seems to work, but the problem arise when I want to reboot/shutdown the PC. It spins the circle forever (30 minutes actually), so I force shutdown from the cable. Don't know why happens this way, so I power on the PC and again try to shutdown it. Unfourtunately, the story was repeated. I use the 32bit version of Backbox 4. I used to run Backbox 3.13 before. This install is on newly formatted ext4 drive. If anyone can help, I can post some output of commands to find the problem. Thanx in advance and have a nice day.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, that I think this may be related to wiping the RAM on reboot/shutdown, but I'm not an expert after all, so this is just guessing.

Hi mastaeit,
thanks for reporting.
Try hitting [ESC] (or try other keys) to exit the splash screen and get the console output, and see where it hangs.

Hope you'll solve.
Bye.

Not sure why and how, but after several reboots it was fixed by itself. If it happens again, I will try hitting esc to see what's going on. Thank you for your answer :)
