Hello, 1. Newbie, don't knock !!! 2. When selecting : 'Turn off computer', all the services seem to go down in due order until 'turn off sound card' included. 3. Then nothing... My PC does not get powered off. (I have to pull the plug to put it to sleep). 4. I got a HP PC SET A6543/W2216, 4GB CPU, 500 GB HD 5. Running on openSuse/Novell 10.3. (Higher versions cannot be mastered by newbies). 6. Is there a trick to get my PC powered off in a say 'regular' mode ? tks for help. JPA -- LINUX SOIGNE VOS BITS !!!
