Hi all. Some time ago there was a thread about shutdown -p or poweroff not working under oS 12.2, and similarly with shutting down from kde/gnome also not powering off. I dont' recall seeing a resolution on that thread. Recently I upgraded to 12.2 (via a clean install) from 11.4 and hit the same issue. Upgrading the kernel from 3.4.11 to 3.4.28 had no effect, and I checked and upgraded the motherboard bios with no result. Then, I happened to be looking at /etc/default/grub for some reason and noticed that the default kernel parameters in that file (which are copied to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg - the grub2 equivalent of menu.lst) included "apm=off acpi=off"! Guess what happened when I removed those two parameters and re-ran grub2- mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg? That's right - acpi poweroff started working again! Why were these 2 parameters included in the default boot params on a clean install of 12.2? I'd be interested to see if this fixes it for anyone else who is having similar problems. Maybe this should be raised as an install bug?
