For the last 3 evenings, I’ve ended up with a login prompt instead of the machine shutting down. I have given it time to power off but no joy, its always ended up in me pressing the button.
I have a few questions. 1. are you shutting down from the command line or from within one of the desktops? 2. do you know what the shutdown command being used is? what extra parameters ar4e being given? In my case i use shutdown from within KDE4. I can see by using systemsettings what command and parameters are benig used. There, I see it is /sbin/shutdown -h -P now That's a bit redundant. Perhaps it needs to be "-H" rather than "-h" ? What's the opinion of the group?
From man(8) poweroff
-H, --halt Halt the machine. -P, --poweroff Power-off the machine (the default). -h Equivalent to --poweroff, unless --halt is specified. Sorry if I'm being "bloody obvious", but I do get to wonder if the reality is that despite the supposed default, in absence of "-P" the machine does not poweroff. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
