--- Comment #9 from Andrew Beames
I CTRL+ALT+F1 switched to a console; logged in as root; issued "halt" The system halted but the computer did not power down.
Please, read the release notes for 12.1: http://www.suse.com/releasenotes/i386/openSUSE/12.1/RELEASE-NOTES.en.html#10
Ok, thank you. I did not know that. However, for the most part "halt" has continued to work for me as I expected it to, so I have never gone searching for potential changes to the command. I second Norbert's comment: KDE shutdown does not always work as I expected it to... and on this occasion I *have* gone searching for changes to the command, and hence I am here! Note: When this event next happens on my PC... If there are any commands I could run to provide more information, I would be only too pleased to do so. Please just advise what the commands might be and I will post the output here. -- 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.
