Unhappy Shutdown problem


Hi

I have a little problem and I hoped you could help me.I have Mandrake 10 on my Acer ASPIRE 1511LMi Laptop and when I run shutdown it says Power off at the end but doesn't turn off so I have to turn it off manually.Is there any way to fix this and how.By the way Im new to linux.

Thanx

Bring up Linux in non-fb mode which gets you a text login.

Log in as root and type

init 1

this will stop all services and leave you at the root prompt.

Now type

poweroff -h

Does your system now shut off?

Is ACPI enabled and the acpid daemon running?

No,my system runs shutdown, says Power off but doesn't turn off.As for the ACPI and acpid deamon you must tell me first how can I see if they are running so I could tell you if they are running.

You may have to enable acpi with a kernel parameter.

Often it is disabled by default with the noacpi option to the kernel.

Once you have it enabled and running, try bringing up the

service acpid start

Also google for the Linux Laptop sites that specifically deal with issues on your laptop.

As root from a console edit /etc/lilo.conf and remove anything which says noacpi and noapm.

Once done type

"lilo"

at the prompt.

Make SURE it does not give you an error or your computer will not be able to reboot!

Now reboot, then again logged in as root at a console type

service acpid start

then check the shutdown by typing

shutdown -t0 -h now

That's it!

Delete the acpi=ht and run lilo.

"edit" is not a Linux command unless you install a program which calls itself edit.
