 Posted: Mon Oct 11, 2004 9:05 am Post subject: Power Down Problem [solved] |
 |
|
When I type "poweroff" or "halt -p" the system switches to runlevel 0, the daemons all stop and then I get the message "Power down." but the computer does not power down. When I type "reboot" everything works. Is this how poweroff is supposed to work or should the system automatically power off? (new to Gentoo) "I'm using a Presario v2000 laptop.
P.S. Simple related question: How do I give a normal user reboot and poweroff privileges?

No with a "shutdown -h now" is should shutdown and poweroff completly. I don't know the presario v2000 but make sure you use the latest bios and compile either apm or acpi into your kernel.

| Code: | chmod ug+s `which reboot`
chmod ug+s `which shutdown` |
Has some security implications. |

mcdermottpa,
Read my post at the bottom of this thread on how to fix that: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=222029&highlight=t42p
I was having the same issue with my Thinkpad T42p and finally figured it out. Good luck. |

If you like local APIC on a Thinkpad just apply this patch: | Code: | diff -ruN linux-2.6.8-gentoo-r3.orig/acpi/sleep/poweroff.c linux-2.6.8-gentoo-r3/acpi/sleep/poweroff.c

inode77,
Do you think this will patch against the linux-2.6.9-r3-nitro2 kernel? |

I don't have nitro patchset installed, just 2.6.9-rc?. But this patch contains only 2 lines to modify. If the patch does not apply use your editor find the lines yourself and add the two lines and your set.
To try and patch do this: | Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
patch -p1 < apic.shutdown.patch
|
If you don't get any rejected then all should be fine and you can use "local apic on uniprocessors" on your Thinkpad. |

I was going through a list of my old posts and saw, much to my shock that I didn't respond to the posted suggestions by inode77 or Khan. That was rude and I hope you will except my apologies. I remember how much your expearence helped me both in getting my laptop to shutdown and setting up sudo. So thank you!  |
