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

/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!

I have been having am problem but the only reference I see in /etc/default/grub is to APM=off in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line. No reference to apci at all. Is this the line you meant? I thought that Line only applied to Recovery startup?

In my /etc/default/grub there are 2 parameters:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_RECOVERY

The second is the command line used for recovery; the first is the default command line used for every regular boot option in grub.cfg.

Remove apm=off (and acpi=off it it is in fact there). After saving the file run 'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg' (double check the path under /boot before running it) and reboot, then try shutting down again. Mine now works as expected both from kde and from the command line.

Rodney. Sorry to say in my system there is no reference to acpi or apm in the default

Guess I can try removing it from the grub cmdline for recovery and see what happens. If you don't boot the "RECOVERY" set, changes will not effect, and your "DEFAULT" doesn't contain those settings now so likely you will see no difference.

You *might* try adding "acpi=on apm=on", just a stab-in-the-dark.

This is interesting. Over the past few months I've noticed that my 12.2-64 desktop would go into a suspend/hibernate/? mode overnight. It required lots of pounding on the keyboard, clicking mouse buttons, and a long time to wake the box up. Sometimes it appeared to be hung and required a power-off reboot cycle. Then, a few weeks ago after a zypper dup I noticed that the monitor save-screen thing would turn off the monitor after four minutes regardless of the "Configure Desktop" setting. So I tried Patrick's suggestion of adding "acpi=on apm=on"to /etc/default/grub. There was no mention of acpi/apm in the file initially. That seems to have fixed both of my issues! So this may be a good thing for me to do on all of the openSuSE boxes I manage.
