My PC uses ZimaOS with HP Prodesk 400 G2 MT specs, i3-4100, 10gb DDR3, 32gb USB Drive for Operating System, and 10tb HDD Toshiba N300 ext4 for storage. Previously in version 1.4.4-1 there was no error bug that could not shut down, but currently in version 1.5.0 there is a bug that cannot shut down with a screen display like the one in the picture. Any advice or solution?
It looks like this issue isn’t hardware-critical but rather a shutdown bug linked to SquashFS in ZimaOS 1.5.0. The system tries to read from the compressed root filesystem while powering off, and older or slower USB drives can’t keep up, which causes the long stream of “SQUASHFS error: Unable to read” messages.
It didn’t show up in 1.4.4-1 because the shutdown sequence was slightly different, so this version just exposes a timing or I/O issue. The most reliable fix is to re-flash the OS on a new or faster USB (or SSD); it should clear the problem completely.
In short, it’s a harmless read error during shutdown, not a sign of system corruption — just a mix of the new kernel’s timing and an aging USB drive.
Will future versions be patched to address this issue?
Because i use command “sudo halt -f -f -p” when i need to shutdown my ZimaOS PC version 1.5.0
Bug was fixed in version 1.5.0-beta1
