I don't know what happened here.
Perhaps I did not make myself clear enough.
I am able to shut off my computer MANUALLY. I am able to use the power button on my computer. I am able to input shut down commands, and the computer does at least go through the appropriate log out and power down procedure.
HOWEVER! The problem is that Linux used to shut off my computer AUTOMATICALLY when it completed the logout/power down procedure and now after installing my new ASROCK K7VM2 mb it will not AUTOMATICALLY shut off the computer.
Running commands to shut off the computer is in no way an automatic process. I checked my KDE Control Center and the Session Manager in Components is and has already been set to shut off the computer after powering down.
I think there is a major possibility of something being wrong in the kernel, although I will check cmos again because of what Salparadise had said,
"on my sons pc, which i built
which has an Asrock motherboard in
mdk9.1
which i installed
switched the box off completely
perhaps a BIOS setting ??
i set my sons mobo to the turbo settings and left it that".
Still there are a few things that have to be considered.
1. I am a
and have no idea of what to do with the kernel. If anyone can tell me how and where to check the kernel to see if the powerdown/shut off the computer commands had been corrupted along with offering me the exact information I need to insert into the kernel and exactly where and how to put it in there correctly, while being as gentle with me as possible will be greatly appreciated.
2. Again, I am a
, but my ASRock K7VM2 was made SPECIFICALLY for Windows XP and some functions that are programmed into it for Windows most certainly do not work. So I am wondering if that may have somehow screwed the automatic shutoff.
3. My ASRock does not have turbo, or at least I did not notice it. Of course, I am going to check cmos again.
Believe me when I say that I am very thankful for everyones effort to help me, but please remember that I am not haivng any problem using commands or using the computer power button to shut off my computer. It would just be nice as hell if I could get the AUTOMATIC COMPLETE SHUTDOWN back.
