chris-tux Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 (edited) Hi all, When I logout, I had usually an automatic shutdown but now I have to manually power off (mdk10 OE) How do I settle this ? tia chris Edited June 3, 2004 by chris-tux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 is acpi and acpid installed, set to run at boot, and acpi=on or acpi=ht in the kernel commandline in the bootloader config? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris-tux Posted June 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Do you mean in /etc/lilo.conf ? Here is mine [chris@tuxedo chris]$ cat /etc/lilo.conf # File generated by DrakX/drakboot # WARNING: do not forget to run lilo after modifying this file boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map default="linux-smp" keytable=/boot/fr-latin1.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount acpi=ht splash=silent" vga=788 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux-nonfb" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount acpi=ht" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-7mdk label="263-7" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.3-7mdk.img append="devfs=mount acpi=ht splash=silent" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-smp label="linux-smp" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd-smp.img append="devfs=mount acpi=ht splash=silent" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="failsafe" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="failsafe acpi=ht devfs=nomount" read-only other=/dev/fd0 label="floppy" unsafe acpi=ht seems to be ok ?

bvc Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 ht is good but on is better. acpi=on then run lilo -v and reboot....see if it helps. Is acpi, and acpid installed and running? [root@localhost root]# rpm -qa | grep acpi acpi-0.07-2mdk acpid-1.0.3-1mdk [root@localhost root]# chkconfig --list | grep acpi acpid 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off acpi 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off [root@localhost root]# service -s | grep acpi acpid (pid 2808) is running...

Sherpa Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 hmm this is just the opposite for me, when i had MDK 10 CE i had to manually shut it off, but with MDK 10OE it does it by itself... hmm thats weird.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero0w Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 This trick also solves my shutdown problem with my new motherboard. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 (edited) well you're both welcome but it's really just what any modern os should be doing by default, but heavier linux's are stuck in the stone ages thinking most people are using older machines yet require like 192mb ram for install ....wish they'd make up their mind, already :lol: Some may say the acpi is still "EXPERIMENTAL"...bah, so is devfs which supposedly on it's way out yet it's still heavily in use because udev truly is "EXPERIMENTAL" :P ..again...yeah, lets replace one 'EXPERIMENTAL" with another ACPI is just fine and [EDIT] I guess I should say, for the most part only buggy for lappies, which is not the majority :P and should be set up auto on most machines.
