Hello folks I'm back again after a week of other activities.... Since i`m not a system administrator or anything similar ... I have another job which I try to manage whilst getting to know this SuSe Linux monster.

I managed to load acpid fine. Up come all the battery management facilities, and they work well. But .... now ... .... when I shut down my system and yast is killing the various components running ... it stops (sticks) at shutting down sound drivers (suspisciously immediately after shutting down acpi). .... I have had to pull out the power cord and battery to get it to stop. Thank Linus that this hasn't created more problems, but it is not a very gracefull way of shutting down.

I have reverted to APM where everything shuts down nicely.

As previously: brand new laptop P4 running Suse 8.1 Kde 3.1.3 with all automatic patches and updates

Thanks for any help

Norm - Go into YaST->System->Runlevel Editor, and set acpid to only have "B" checked, that should take care of it. Mark Almeida -- Powered by SuSE Linux Pro 8.2/Kmail 1.5.3
