I'm not sure if this bug is related to my issue. I've got the problem of the PC never powering down even though I get the "System Halted" message ok (i escaped the shutdown splash to watch the shutdown). I expect the PC then to power off.
This is unrelated, you need to use "halt -p" to shutdown your computer (as explained in the manual). With sysvinit, we had a patch which was injecting "-p" on x86/x86_64 hardware without you noticing.
Unfortunately that made no difference at all. There is "Bug 794889 - Shutdown does not power off machine" created by someone else which is more relevant but no-one has looked at it. I had also posted to that one. I installed Fedora on an old laptop to check another issue and noticed it used "poweroff". So i tried it as well but it did the same thing, shut everything down okay but did not power off. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
