# Render Group and Rebooting
When trying to do a hardware shutdown, I got these error messages for every instance
of the `clinfo` process that I had started up. They hang hard, and don't respond to
kill signals.
```
systemd-shutdown[1]: Waiting for process: clinfo, clinfo, clinfo, clinfo, clinfo
```
## Rebooting
New groups indeed show up upon reboot.
```
$ id
uid=1000(arcologos) gid=1000(arcologos) groups=1000(arcologos),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),109(render),120(lpadmin),133(lxd),134(sambashare)
```
## Killing `clinfo` Process
Repeatedly calling
```
ps -eax
```
and
```
sudo kill -KILL <pid>
```
of anything mentioning `clinfo` eventually did kill the `bash` processes
waiting on `clinfo` after many minutes. However, the real processes
remain as zombies
```
$ ps -eax | grep clinfo
1519 pts/0 D 0:44 [clinfo]
1553 pts/1 D 0:00 [clinfo]
```
## Installing `libnuma-dev`
One of the GitHub issue advice was to install `libnuma-dev`,
and now I wish I had been paying more attention to NUMA when
working on SaLSa self-driving cars with Samhitha.
```
$ sudo apt install numactl

## Perhaps a Problem with `rocm-opencl` or Ubuntu distribution.
A problem with this on Fedora prompts `clinfo` maintainer to suggest taking it up with Fedora
